Former Kirkland WA counselor sentenced

SEATTLE —

A former counselor at a Kirkland psychiatric hospital must enter a sexual-deviancy program and remain under supervision for three years for assaulting a 10-year-old boy.

Richard Robillard was sentenced to nine months in jail on Friday in King County Superior Court. He's already served the time on home detention.

King County prosecutors say the 43-year-old Robillard was originally charged with first-degree child rape, but pleaded guilty in April to second-degree assault, agreeing that his intent was to commit child rape.

Robillard formerly was an intake counselor and screener at Fairfax Hospital in Kirkland. He knew the boy's family and did not meet him through his job at Fairfax.

The state Department of Health suspended Robillard's counselor credentials after he was charged last year.
