Gerard Brevard III, a repeat offender with outstanding charges, broke into a hotel in late 2020 and attempted to abduct and rape a hotel maid. He was later found to have a gun. Prosecutor Steve Descano reduced the felony charges, which carried a 26 year to life sentence, down to misdemeanors and released him after five months. The following spring, Brevard shot five homeless men in cold blood in New York City and Washington D.C., killing two.
Steve Descano (Fairfax County, Virginia) received a total of $659,000 from the Soros-backed groups.
