On Aug. 21, a defendant was sentenced to 10 months for assault with bodily injury and 90 days for a misdemeanor sex abuse charge. He was also given 6 months supervised probation. 

The incident took place on May 6, 2019, on the 4000 block of H Street, SE.

The case was originally supposed to be sentenced in February.

While the defendant waited for  his sentencing, he showed commitment to mental health and substance abuse rehabilitation efforts. 

The defendant also owes a total of $150 for both crimes to the Victims of Violent Crime Compensation fund. He is prohibited from possessing or purchasing a firearm in Washington, D.C, must maintain mental health services through Community Connections , a not-for-profit mental health and addiction agency in SE, and have no contact with the victim in the case.
