A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence against a sex abuse defendant to bring the case to trial.

The 36-year-old defendant is charged with assault with the intent to commit third-degree sex abuse after luring a woman into a secluded parking lot in an attempt to sexually assault the victim. 

During the March 23 hearing, Judge Milton Lee asked parties if they expected any issues with witness availability to attend and testify at the preliminary hearing.

Counsel did not expect any issues and said they would file any remaining motions in a timely manner.

The hearing is scheduled for May 19.
