Shane Michael Cochran, 36, of Pacific Beach worked at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital in Kearny Mesa when he engaged in sexual activity with a 20-year-old woman undergoing involuntary treatment for psychosis.
He admitted guilt on Tuesday to three counts of sexual activity with a person confined to a health facility.
The sex acts occurred over several weeks in October 2014, prosecutors said.
In addition to six months in jail, Cochran will serve five years’ probation, must register as a sex offender for five years and must undergo GPS monitoring. He must also pay $1,503 in fines and fees.
Deputy City Attorney Miriam Milstein said in a news release that the situation had a “significant impact on his victim, who no longer trusts the medical professionals seeking to help her.”
A news release from the City Attorney’s Office indicated Cochran no longer works at the hospital.
