A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing to determine if the evidence against a defendant charged with first-degree sex abuse and kidnapping is enough to bring his case to trial.
On the night of May 6, 2020, the defendant is alleged to have carried the victim from a bus stop in Southeast, DC to a shed, where the sexual assault occurred. According to court documents, the victim escaped the shed and sought the police’s help after the defendant fell asleep.
During the Feb. 25 hearing, Judge Danya Dayson said the hearing would be conducted partially remote, with the defendant appearing in court.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 13.
