Multiple Stranger Sexual Assaults Shock Golden Triangle Residents
Washington, D.C. – The streets of Golden Triangle have become a nightmare for at least three victims after being allegedly assaulted by 31-year-old Christopher Sharp, a resident of Washington D.C.
According to court documents, Sharp left the George Washington University Hospital on August 15, 2023, at approximately 9:40am. Upon exiting the building, he encountered an individual standing near the exit and is accused of smacking the individual’s buttock.
Around five minutes later, at approximately 9:50am, Sharp encountered an individual walking in the 2100 block of K Street, Northwest. As Sharp and the individual passed each other, Sharp is accused of grabbing the individual’s buttock.
Further, around five minutes later, at approximately 9:55am, Sharp encountered an individual near the intersection of 19th Street, Northwest and Eye Street, Northwest. Sharp is accused of approaching the individual from behind, touching the individual’s vagina, and lifting the individual into the air.
Sharp then walked several feet forward before sitting down on the pavement, still carrying the individual. Once on the ground, Sharp is accused of pinning the individual to the ground, pulling up her dress, and attempting to sexually assault the individual. The assault ended when bystanders intervened, causing the defendant to release the individual.
The accused perpetrator, Christopher Sharp, is currently detained pending a preliminary hearing on August 22, 2023. The charges include assault with intent to commit first-degree sexual abuse; kidnapping; and misdemeanor sexual abuse.
It is worth noting that at the time of the alleged offenses, Sharp was on release in a pending case in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in which he was charged with misdemeanor sexual abuse against three additional victims.
A complaint is merely a charge that a defendant has committed a violation of criminal laws and every defendant is presumed innocent until, and unless, proven guilty.
