In newly-filed court documents, the family of the incapacitated woman who gave birth to a child after allegedly being raped by a nurse at a long-term care facility say she was sexually assaulted repeatedly, and had likely been pregnant before.
PEOPLE obtained a copy of the notice of claim filed late Wednesday in Arizona against the state, proposing a ent.
Wednesday's filing further alleges a doctor ordered an ultrasound for the victim the day before she delivered the baby, realizing she might be pregnant.
The claim states the victim was examined at the Maricopa County Medical Center after the baby was born, and officials there determined she had been "violated repeatedly" and that her pregnancy was a "repeat parous event" - meaning she may have been pregnant previously.
Police say they learned about Sutherland's possible involvement after search warrants turned up records from the facility identifying those who may have had access to the victim during the time she was impregnated.
DNA samples were collected from “numerous individuals” and Sutherland was arrested after providing a DNA sample under a court order that later matched with the child.
The baby is said to be healthy, and in the custody of the victim's family.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office would not comment on the filing or its claims.
