On Feb. 19, a DC Superior Court judge continued a misdemeanor sex abuse case so the defense can have more time to discuss a plea offer.

The 27-year-old defendant was sentenced to probation for simple assault last September. He also picked up another case the following December, in which he is charged with misdemeanor sex abuse, attempted misdemeanor sex abuse and unlawful entry.

The prosecution said they have extended a global plea offer.

Defense attorney Stephen Logerfo asked Judge Steven Wellner for two weeks to review it with his client.

The next hearing is scheduled for March 12.
