THE DISTRICTA Northwest Washington man faces up to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of assault on female joggers in Rock Creek Park, the U.S. attorney's office for the District said.
Ingmar Guandeque, 20, of the 1400 block of Somerset Place, admitted Friday in D.C. Superior Court that he pursued and grabbed the runners in the early evening of May 14 and July 1 in unsuccessful efforts to steal their Sony Walkman radios. The victims said the attacker brandished a knife.
Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 11.
