On Aug. 5, DC Superior Court Judge John Campbell scheduled a hearing to review the pretrial detention of a defendant.
The defendant was charged with felony contempt of court after he was arrested on June 10 for violating a stay away order he has from a residence on the 2800 block of 28th Street, SE. The defendant, 36, recieved the stay away after he was charged with first-degree sexual abuse on June 7.
Witnesses say he got into the building by damaging the door jam and then banged on an apartment door on the third floor.
Jeffrey Stein, the defense attorney, said he did not wish to schedule a preliminary hearing for his client. Instead, he requested a bond review hearing to reconsider his client’s pretrial detention in his contempt case.
Stein also asked that his client be present for the hearing.
Judge Campbell scheduled the hearing for Aug. 18.
