A sex abuse defendant was not present for his Sept. 10 hearing because, according to court documents, he is being held in quarantine at the DC Jail.
The 22-year-old defendant is charged with first-degree sexual abuse while armed for allegedly brandishing a gun and forcing the victim to perform sexual acts on him on Aug. 17 in a Northwest, DC hotel room following an argument.
Defense counsel was also not present for the hearing. Judge Milton Lee scheduled a felony status conference for Sept. 14.
