A nurse accused of abusing vulnerable infants at a western Henrico County hospital now faces more criminal charges.
Erin Strotman was served with six new indictments Tuesday, and now officially stands accused of hurting four different babies from 2022 to 2024.
She has also been charged with class 6 felony child abuse and neglect related to the treatment of a fifth baby, but that child was never injured, according to prosecutors.
Strotman, a former nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, was first arrested in January and charged with injuring a baby in the NICU in November of 2024.
A grand jury then indicted her on new charges last month.
One of the babies at the center of the new charges is a baby that Strotman was already charged with allegedly hurting, but two of the babies are new.
