On June 8, a defendant in a child sex abuse case entered a guilty plea.
Aaron McCormick was initially charged with two counts of first-degree child sex abuse. He pleaded guilty to one count in exchange for the prosecution dropping the other count.
According to the proffer of facts, the 55-year-old defendant began sexually abusing a 13-year-old in September 2020, and the abuse continued until he was arrested the following December.
McCormick is facing a minimum sentence of seven-and-a-half years plus five years of supervised release, according to parties.
DC Superior Court Judge Jonathan Pittman scheduled McCormick to be sentenced on Aug. 17.
