A defendant pleaded guilty to contempt of court on June 17.
Dominique Jackson was charged with contempt of court after violating a civil protective order served to him on Oct. 19, 2017. The order was meant to limit contact between Jackson and a victim, while also requiring him to enroll in anger management counseling, which he failed to do.
Jackson and his defense attorney, Linden Fry, entered into a deferred sentencing agreement with the prosecution. The agreement states that Jackson must plead guilty to the contempt of court charge and enroll in 24 hours of online anger management counseling.
If Jackson is successful in completing the terms of the agreement within six months,, the prosecution will allow Jackson to withdraw his plea and dismiss the case.
DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan accepted the deferred sentencing agreement.
Jackson is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 17.
