Defendant Pleads Guilty to Felony Contempt

On Oct. 6, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a defendant for sentencing after he pleaded guilty to felony contempt.

Robert Long, 37, picked up the charge for entering an apartment in Southeast, DC on June 10. The defendant had been ordered to stay away from the apartment as a condition of his pretrial release for a case in which he was charged with first-degree sexual abuse. That case was dismissed as part of his plea agreement with the prosecution.

Also as part of a plea agreement, the prosecution agreed to ask for a sentence of 16 months, with all but five months suspended. 

Long’s attorney, Jeffrey Stein, asked for the defendant to be put into an inpatient drug treatment program upon release. 

Judge Danya Dayson scheduled Long to be sentenced on Nov. 10. 

He is being held without bond for the felony contempt charge.
