A DC judge released an inmate from a psychiatric hospital April 21.
Milton Pugh Jr. is charged with sex abuse for rubbing himself up against someone while in line at a restaurant. The complainant also said that Pugh knew he did not have consent to touch her.
Judge Michael Ryan released Pugh from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution where he had been held since Feb. 7.
The defendant’s request was made in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pugh is not scheduled for any other hearings at this time.
