A DC Superior Court judge continued an Oct. 28 hearing so that parties can seek a resolution to the case. 

The 61-year-old defendant is charged with robbery, aggravated assault and third-degree sex abuse after he allegedly assaulted another sleeping homeless woman in June on the steps of a church on the 1500 block of 16 Street, NW. 

The prosecution and defense attorney Susan Borecki said they have come to an agreement on a plea deal and need an official date to accept it.

Judge Julie Becker scheduled a plea deal hearing with the case judge, Judge Neal Kravitz , for Nov. 23. 

In the meantime, the defendant will remain at DC Jail.
