Former nursing assistant sentenced for raping paralyzed patient

Former nursing assistant sentenced for raping paralyzed patient, Seattle P-I, Dec. 7, 2007. The victim was a 33-year-old woman who had had a stroke that left her unable to speak or even open her mouth.

Superior Court Judge Julie Spector called it one of the most tragic cases she had ever seen and noted his ultimate prison term would be up to the state parole board.

"It is such a violation of a trust relationship that you still do not take responsibility for," Spector told [the defendant, Lamin] Darboe. "If it were up to me, I would never release you back into the community."
