A defendant’s emergency request for release was denied and classified as mute May 5 because that defendant was already released.
Alfred Gibson was found guilty of misdemeanor sex abuse and misdemeanor sexual abuse of a minor on Dec. 17, 2019.
During the hearing, Judge Neal Kravitz classified the motion for immediate release as moot because the defendant was already released on April 24. According to DC Courts, Gibson’s sentence was reduced due to an emergency bill that was passed to reduce the prison population during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gibson is mandated to register as a sex offender and to stay in touch with his probation officer. It is unclear how long Gibson must serve on probation.
