VISTA — A former Tri-City Medical Center nurse convicted of trying to sexually assault a co-worker was sentenced today to four years in state prison.
Gary Johnson, 63, was found guilty by a Vista jury earlier this year of burglary and attempted sexual assault of an unconscious person. Along with prison, Johnson’s sentence includes a requirement to register as a sex offender.
In April, prosecutors say Johnson showed up at the victim’s Oceanside apartment unannounced at about 3 a.m. while carrying items that included a condom and a bottle of anesthetic.
Johnson was confronted by the woman’s boyfriend, who tackled Johnson and held him until police arrived.
