A DC Superior Court judge ordered April 16 the DC Jail to give a defendant personal protective equipment while he is incarcerated.

Bryant Webster pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse while armed and second-degree sexual abuse in July of 2019.

Judge Anita Josey-Herring put in an order that would mandate DC Jail provide Webster with gloves, a mask, and cleaning supplies.

Judge Josey-Herring also denied Webster’s motion for release.

Webster is scheduled for sentencing on June 26.
