(ANSA) - ENNA, OCT 27 - A DNA test has shown that a nurse who
raped a disabled patient in a Sicilian clinic is the father of
the child she is expecting.
The 37-year-old health operator at the Oasi Clinci in Troina
near Enna impregnated the disabled woman while she was suffering
from COVID-19, the DNA showed.
The man confessed to raping the woman and was arrested on
October 7.
The woman was adjudged to be incapable of giving her consent for
sex since she struggles to meet her basic needs, police said.
The man is suspected of raping her repeatedly over a period of
time.
A probe is trying to establish if he had other women in his care
at the clinic.
Prosecutors said they will assess whether to press more rape
charges. (ANSA).
