On Nov. 23, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a preliminary hearing to determine if a case against a defendant charged with sex abuse and kidnapping has enough evidence to go to trial.
The defendant is charged with first-degree sexual abuse and kidnapping for allegedly grabbing his ex-partner as she was walking down a street and forcibly taking her back to his home on Nov. 4. The victim was reportedly held against her will in his home for four hours and was sexually abused during that time period, according to court documents.
Judge Judith Smith set a preliminary hearing date for Dec. 29. The defendant is being held without bail.
