Wilfredo Figueroa-Berrios, the ex-nurse from Detroit convicted of sexually assaulting one of his patients will be sentenced on Friday.

The former Detroit Medical Center employee was found guilty on two criminal sexual conduct charges and acquitted on three other counts following a jury trial in September.

It's the resolution of one of several cases against Figueroa-Berrios, who is accused of several other sexual assault cases following years of alleged abuse while employed as a nurse.
