Dupont Serial Groper Sentenced to 180 Days in Jail

11/19/2012

Since early 2012 I have been serving as one of two Public Safety Liaisons for the Dupont Circle ANC. Kishan Putta and I have been working with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and MPD to follow up on arrests of individuals who have committed serious crimes in our neighborhood.

In August, MPD announced that they had made an arrest in a string of sexual assaults that occurred around Dupont. They charged the man, Oscar Mauricio Carnejo-Pena, with five counts of Misdemeanor Sexual Abuse. He plead guilty to those charges and residents had a short time to provide a Community Impact Statement to the judge to influence his sentencing. Kishan and I submitted the statement below that was accepted by the judge at sentencing:

Unfortunately, the judge sentenced Mr. Carnejo-Pena to 180 days of jail time for each count to be served concurrently, as opposed to consecutively. He was also sentenced to three years of probation, mental health counseling, and ordered to stay away from the victims and the Dupont Circle neighborhood.

We are extremely grateful for the hard work of MPD and the U.S. Attorney's Office in this case and I will keep working closely with them to track and influence serious crimes in our neighborhood.

According to a Washington Post article, Mr. Carnejo-Pena is an illegal immigrant. He should serve his sentence and be deported, not offered taxpayer funded mental health counseling. He should be ordered to stay out of the U.S., not just Dupont Circle.
