Teenager in rape case pleads guilty
George Norris Langu Jr., a 19-year-old accused of breaking into a house and raping his 16-year-old neighbor on Saipan last September, entered a guilty plea yesterday in the Superior Court.
Langu signed a plea agreement with the government and pleaded guilty to sexual assault in the first degree.
Associate Judge Teresa Kim-Tenorio accepted the plea deal and Langu’s guilty plea.
Kim-Tenorio set the sentencing for March 8, 2016 at 9am.
Assistant public defender Matthew Meyer is counsel for Langu.
Assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda appeared for the government.
Aside from sexual assault in the first degree, the Office of the Attorney General charged the defendant with burglary, assault and battery, disturbing the peace, and criminal mischief.
Two police officers responded last Sept. 1 at 3:57am to a call about a sexual assault incident in Chalan Kanoa.
The alleged victim told police that she was asleep inside her room when a man sexually assaulted her. The girl said she struggled, prompting the suspect she later recognized as Langu, to run outside the house.
