During initial hearings on March 24, District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Lloyd Nolan presided over more than 30 cases. 

Among those cases there were two domestic violence cases and one sex abuse case. 

The first domestic violence defendant is charged with simple assault and attempted threats to do bodily harm. The defendant was released on personal recognizance under the supervision of the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA). He was also given a stay away order.

The defendant was ordered to return to court for a status hearing on April 21. 

The second domestic violence defendant was charged with simple assault but the charges were dropped and he was released. The case is now closed.

The third defendant is charged with attempted sex abuse, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, sex abuse and lewd, indecent or obscene acts. 

The defendant has four pending cases in DC and will be held until his next hearing, which is scheduled for April 13.
