A DC Superior Court judge sentenced a defendant to serve five months for felony contempt.
The 37-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to the charge last month. As part of a plea deal, his other two cases, in which he was charged with lewd, indecent, or obscene acts and first-degree sexual abuse, were dropped.
Judge Danya Dayson sentenced him to 16 months, 11 of which were suspended, plus one year of supervised probation.
Conditions of his probation include attending an inpatient drug treatment program, undergoing a mental health assessment and treatment, being monitored by GPS and complying with stay away orders.
The defendant must also pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crime Compensation fund.
