• Kendrid Khalil Hamlin, who assaulted Rep. Angie Craig in her Washington, D.C., apartment building in February, faces a recommended 39-month jail sentence and three years of supervised release.
• Hamlin pleaded guilty in June to one count of assault on a member of Congress and two counts of assault on a law enforcement officer.
• The assault, which occurred in an elevator, resulted in Craig suffering bruising and a cut, and she continues to experience the trauma associated with being a victim of a violent crime.
• Prosecutors described the assault as an 'egregious' offense, highlighting the fact that Craig was attacked in her own residence and was forced to fight her way off the elevator.
• Craig is expected to provide a 'victim impact statement' prior to Hamlin's sentencing, which is scheduled for Nov. 16.
