Officers say the offender began beating the expectant victim multiple times in the face, dragged her, and then left the scene.
According to the TV outlet, Washington was detained on January 18 for violating the sex offender registration law as well as associated crimes. He was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center when he was officially apprehended by police on Monday, January 22, for the incident, according to state records.
