Then the nurse anesthetist at Mount Carmel East Hospital gave her a syringe of fluids that made her drift off to sleep, she testified today.

"I woke up to him sucking on my breast," Christine Black told a Franklin County jury. "I remember saying, 'What are you doing?' and he replied, 'I just like you, that's all.'"

Black reported the incident to another nurse, and an internal investigation was begun. Columbus police filed criminal charges two weeks later.

The anesthetist, Daniel Maldovan, 46, of Basil Road NW near Baltimore in Fairfield County, is on trial in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on three felony counts of gross sexual imposition. He's accused of sexually assaulting Black at Mount Carmel on Dec. 31, 2008, as she recovered from the birth of her second child.

The Dispatch typically does not name victims of sexual assault, but Black, of Fountain]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man pleads guilty in stabbing of neighbor]]></title><link>http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/03/10/Man-pleads-guilty-in-neighborxs-stabbing.html?type=rss&amp;cat=&amp;sid=101</link><guid>http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/03/10/Man-pleads-guilty-in-neighborxs-stabbing.html?type=rss&amp;cat=&amp;sid=101&amp;title=Man+pleads+guilty+in+stabbing+of+neighbor</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:39:36 -0500</pubDate><author>bcadwallader@dispatch.com</author><description><![CDATA[A South Side man pleaded guilty today to voluntary manslaughter for stabbing a neighbor to death in July in a case of mistaken identity.
