A DC Superior Court judge continued a July 27 hearing after defense counsel said the defendant is unhappy with the current status of the plea offer and wants to change attorneys.

The defendant is charged with first-degree sexual abuse in a domestic violence case. He picked up the case in October 2019.

The defendant is currently being held at DC Jail. He has a $500 cash bond in this case, but is being held without bond in another case in which he is indicted on 20 counts, with charges including armed robbery and armed kidnapping.

Judge Juliet McKenna scheduled a hearing for Aug. 16 to address the matters with counsel and the plea offer.
