A prosecutor extended a plea offer to a 25-year-old defendant charged with fourth-degree sex abuse.
On a September evening in 2021, the defendant asked the victim if he could spend the night at her apartment because he was experiencing homelessness, according to court documents. The victim agreed as she knew him through her ex-boyfriend. She alleges that she woke up to him sexually assaulting her. After she called the police, the defendant was questioned and arrested.
During a Feb. 2 hearing, defense attorney Derrick Page said he would read over the plea deal, discuss it with his client and update the court by the next hearing, which DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun scheduled for Feb. 7
