Oakland County sheriff's deputies were called to MediLodge on Oct. 18 after a nursing assistant reported she had just walked into a room and witnessed Devary with his pants and underwear pulled down in front of a 93-year-old female resident in a wheelchair.

Devary reportedly then put the woman's hand on his genitals, deputies said.

Devary, a three-year employee at the 166-bed facility, ran into the bathroom and told the witness she "didn't need to report this to anybody," deputies said.

Deputies said Devary then confessed.

Devary will be sentenced at 11 a.m. on Dec. 22.
