A child sex abuse defendant was arraigned on fifteen charges during a Dec. 13 hearing.
The 59-year-old defendant is indicted on five counts of first-degree child sex abuse, four counts of attempted first-degree child sex abuse, three counts of second-degree child sex abuse, one count of third-degree child sex abuse, one count of first-degree sex abuse and one count of kidnapping. He allegedly sexually abused his 11-year-old niece multiple times over a one-week period.
He was arrested in January after describing many instances of the alleged abuse to detectives, according to court documents. He has been detained at DC Jail ever since.
A plea offer was already rejected during the hearing. Another hearing is scheduled for Feb. 14.
