A DC Superior Court judge sentenced a defendant to serve two-and-a-half years for third-degree sex abuse following a global plea deal.
Judge Todd Edelman sentenced 38-year-old Broadus Johnson to 40 months, 10 of which were suspended, plus five years of probation for the sex abuse charge.
He also gave Johnson a suspended sentence plus five years of supervised probation for his charges of simple assault, second-degree theft and bail violation. The defendant’s other cases, in which he was charged with robbery, simple assault and bail violation, were dismissed as part of the plea deal.
The supervised release will be served concurrently for the sentences.
According to court documents, on March 8, 2019, on the 200 block of P Street, NW, Johnson followed the victim to her Uber and sexually abused her. The driver tried to get him out of his car by driving down the street and swerving.
Immediately prior to fleeing the scene, Johnson tried to take the woman’s property; however, he was unsuccessful, documents state.
Conditions of Johnson’s probation include substance abuse assessments, a mental health screening, vocational counseling or employment, transitional housing, a stay-away order and registering as a sex offender.
Johnson must also pay a total of $250 to the Victims of Violent Crime Compensation fund.
