Male nurse gets 20 years for getting rectal temp on female patient?

Here is the article and the link is below..From my experience with CVA patients, some are not alert and oriented x 3 because of their disease..

The article:
FORT WORTH -- Kenneth Wayne Downs, a former nurse accused of sexually assaulting a partially paralyzed stroke patient in a south Fort Worth hospital, fought in the first half of his trial.
But after jurors convicted him Monday, he gave up.
"Just let me rot in jail because that is what my life is worth now," Downs angrily told the judge after the verdict.
