Flores-Lemus faces up to thirty years in prison for each count of first-degree sexual abuse. Upon release, he will be required to register as a sex offender for life.
Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department joined in announcing the conviction. The Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys LaVater Massie-Banks and Sarah Folse.
