DC Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a defendant who failed to appear to his July 13 hearing.
Robert Taylor pleaded guilty to third-degree sexual abuse on Dec. 20, 2018, and was sentenced to two years of probation the following March.
During the hearing, a Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) representative said his last contact with the defendant, who is homeless, was on March 27.
The officer also said Taylor is not participating in mental health treatment and tampered with his GPS monitoring device. Both the treatment and the monitoring device are conditions of his probation.
July 13 was the second time Taylor failed to appear in court since his sentencing.
