Former NICU nurse pleads no contest to child abuse charges involving nine babies
Table of Contents
A former NICU nurse at Henrico Doctors' Hospital pleaded no contest to nine counts of felony child abuse involving nine babies in incidents dating back to 2022.
Erin Strotman had originally faced 20 counts in the case. A no contest plea means she denies intent to harm but admits there's enough evidence for conviction.
During court proceedings, prosecutors showed video evidence of Strotman pushing down on babies' legs and falling while holding a baby. Families cried in court as the evidence was presented.
The state will seek no more than three years behind bars, a sentence all families agreed to. Sentencing is set for June 5 at 11 a.m.
