A defendant was found to be in compliance with the conditions of his pretrial release after his court-ordered GPS monitor was not installed on time.

D’Angelo Coleman is awaiting trial for his charges of first-degree child sex abuse and simple assault. 

Defense attorney Madalyn Harvey told DC Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher that her client had his GPS device installed on July 15, a few days after it was supposed to be done. She said the delay was a result of him being stranded out of town earlier that week.

Coleman did not show up to the July 17 court hearing; however, Judge Fisher discovered that he had not been informed of the hearing. 

Coleman’s next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 20.
