DC Superior Court Judge Sean Staples released June 18 a defendant under the high intensity supervision program (HISP).

Leon Quarles must comply with GPS monitoring and take a sex offender assessment.

Quarles, 25, pleaded guilty to failure to appear in court and assault with significant bodily injury.

Quarles had initial problems with his probation. He avoided contact with his probation officer, held no stable residence and engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior.

He re-engaged with mental health services and now resides with his child’s mother in Maryland.

Quarles is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 3.
