Defense attorney, Chidi Ogolo stated that a defendant has been compliant and has registered as a sex offender in Washington, DC in 2022, but the defendant was unable to register this year since he was detained in Maryland after testing positive for cocaine.
During a Feb. 22 hearing, the prosecution noted that she has had confirmation that the defendant had registered for 2022 and has now registered for 2023.
The 44-year-old defendant was convicted of one count of attempted second-degree child sex abuse on Oct. 21, 2008. He was sentenced to three years in prison and 10 years of supervised release. He was ordered to also register as a sex offender for 10 years upon his release.
If the defendant followed all the conditions, he would not be required to register as a sex offender beyond Nov. 21, 2022.
He was convicted in October of 2019 for failure to register as a sex offender. In September of 2020 a sex offender registration violation report was completed for Wright for not completing a yearly-in-person update with the DC Registry.
