A DC Superior Court judge continued a sex abuse hearing to allow the defendant more time to consider the prosecution’s plea offer.

The 54-year-old defendant is charged with first-degree child sex abuse against a victim under the age of 16. He allegedly abused the victim multiple times between March 1 and Dec. 23, 2020, in Northwest, DC.

The plea offer was extended to the defendant in February. The defendant is being held without bail.  

Judge James Crowell scheduled a felony status conference hearing for April 27.
