Judge Sends Ex‑Sinai‑Grace Nurse to Trial in Three Sexual Assault Cases

Survivor testimony led to the bind-over, with prosecutors reviewing additional allegations.

Overview

  • Prosecutors say the cases involve two patients at Sinai‑Grace and a separate incident downtown, with testimony describing inappropriate touching, forced oral sex, and an attempted rape in a porta‑potty.
  • Wayne County prosecutors reported that additional complaints tied to investigations in Detroit and Livonia remain under review.
  • The defendant, 47-year-old Wilfredo Figueroa‑Berrios, denies the allegations and is due back in court on Nov. 10.
  • Multiple civil lawsuits name Tenet Healthcare, VHS of Michigan, and VHS Sinai‑Grace Hospital, as plaintiffs’ attorneys contend many more survivors may come forward.
  • The hospital says patient safety is a priority, that police were notified immediately after complaints, and that the employee has been terminated.
