On July 15, DC Superior Court Judge John McCabe ordered a domestic violence defendant to come into compliance with his pretrial release conditions, but did not change any of them.
The defendant is charged with simple assault and violating a Civil Protective Order (CPO).
He allegedly violated his release conditions by entering the home of a person from whom he had a stay away order due to assault charges.
GPS tracking reports show him approaching the house 27 times during his pretrial release. Some violations lasted minutes, while others lasted hours.
The prosecution said the victim is scared of the defendant and did not invite him to come over. The victim does not think GPS tracking is enough to keep him from her.
The defendant’s next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 2.
