Sexual Assault

A sexual assault defendant is looking to face between 12-19 years in prison after accepting a plea deal from the prosecution on March 15.
The 36-year-old defendant was charged with three counts of first-degree child sex abuse, one count of second-degree child sex abuse, and one count of misdemeanor sexual abuse. The three underage complainants were forced to engage in sexual activity with the defendant. The offense occurred between the years 2016 to November 2021 on the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW.
In exchange for pleading guilty to one count of first-degree child sex abuse, one count of second-degree child sex abuse, and one count of misdemeanor sexual abuse the prosecution woulddismiss any remaining counts of the complainants.
The defendant is slated for sentencing on June 16.
