During a Feb. 6 status hearing, the prosecutor confirmed that a pre-indictment plea offer given to a sexual abuse defendant was rejected on the record.
A 48-year-old physician assistant is charged with second-degree sexual abuse of a patient or a client. The incident allegedly occurred at Metro Lab, a full-service testing facility on the 3400 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, where he was formerly employed.
Defense attorney Rachel McCoy affirmed that the defendant initially rejected the prosecution’s plea offer on Oct. 28, 2022.
