Richard
Gonzalez-Medina, 25, pleaded guilty in Washington County Court in
February to a felony count of third-degree criminal sexual act as part
of a plea deal.
He
was charged in connection with an incident last June at the Washington
Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Argyle, where he worked.
His lawyer, Cheryl Coleman, said
Gonzalez-Medina regretted the incident and that her client "mistook the
victim’s silence for acquiescence."
The
victim, who was in the home for rehabilitation, told police that
Gonzalez-Medina had been fondling him during baths before attempting
oral sex.
Gonzalez-Medina will
have to register as a sex offender and faces up to 4 years in state
prison if he violates probation. The state has stripped his CNA license,
finding that he was guilty of "resident abuse."
