A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing to determine if the case against a defendant charged with first-degree sexual abuse has enough evidence to go to trial.
The 31-year-old defendant is accused of sexually assaulting a woman multiple times on July 13. At the time, the defendant was wanted for assault in Maryland, according to court documents.
Dominique Winters was appointed to represent the defendant on Aug. 4. She requested exculpatory evidence from the prosecution and asked Judge Juliet Becker to schedule a preliminary hearing.
The preliminary hearing is set to take place on Aug. 13. In the meantime, the defendant will remain held at DC Jail.
