Virginia man sentenced to 25 years in sexual abuse of minor
A 25-year sentence was handed to a Virginia man following a conviction in Worcester County Circuit Court on sexual abuse charges.
Alexander Wu, 32, of McLean, Virginia, was convicted on the charges of sexual abuse of a minor and third-degree sex offense.
Judge Beau H. Oglesby of the Worcester County Circuit Court, who imposed the sentence, suspended all but 10 years of the sentence and placed Wu on 5 years of supervised probation with conditions that he register as a lifetime sex offender and have no unsupervised contact with children.
The charges stem from a complaint of sexual abuse which the victim originally reported to authorities in Montgomery County, Maryland, in January of 2020.
Further investigation revealed that the abuse had occurred in multiple jurisdictions, including Ocean City, Maryland, where the victim disclosed in a forensic interview that her cheerleading coach, Wu, had sexually abused her. The victim was 14 years old at the time.
