The suspect — identified as Nathan Sutherland, age 36 — faces charges of one count of s*xual assault and one count of vulnerable adult abuse, Phoenix police Sergeant Tommy Thomson told a news conference.

“The baby I am told is doing good,” Thompson said.

The CEO of the nursing facility resigned following the scandal, according to a statement sent to media.

A lawyer for the woman’s family has said the infant “has been born into a loving family and will be well cared for,” according to The New York Times.
