A District man was sentenced to 14 months in prison today after pleading guilty to assaulting two transgender women at the corner of 14th and Shepherd Streets, N.W. in March 2010.

Superior Court Judge Robert Morin sentenced Dimas Melgar, 45, to the 14-month prison term plus three years of supervised release upon completion of the jail term and a $100 fine. The sentence came three months after Melgar pleaded guilty to a felony charge of assault with significant bodily injury.
