A sex abuse defendant was extended a plea offer approximately four months after the alleged crime.
The 31-year-old defendant is accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his girlfriend in November 2021. He also allegedly pulled a knife on her and threatened to “end both of them right there,” according to court documents. He faces charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and first-degree sex abuse.
On Feb. 25, the prosecutor said they already offered a plea deal for the defense’s consideration. The defendant recently replaced his lawyer.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on March 18.
