Claim seeks $45M for incapacitated woman who gave birth
Lawyers for an incapacitated woman who was raped and later gave birth at a Phoenix long-term care facility have filed a $45 million notice of claim against the state, saying she may have been impregnated before.
The claim, which is a precursor to a lawsuit, also alleges the woman was raped repeatedly before giving birth last December.
A former licensed practical nurse at Hacienda Healthcare has been charged with sexually assaulting the 29-year-old woman, who has been in long-term care since age 3 after suffering a near-drowning.
