The expert witness will testify about his findings resulting from the DNA testing of the victim, the victim’s infant, and Diaz, “rendering an opinion as to the probability of Diaz being the father of the minor victim’s infant,” according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Clyde Lemons, Jr. who filed the notice of intent in federal court.
Federal Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood scheduled Diaz’s jury trial for Dec. 27, 2011.
Diaz, who is represented by attorney David Banes, has denied charges of three counts of enticement of a minor and one count of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
The crime occurred between Aug. 1, 2010 and Sept. 30, 2010, according to the indictment.
Diaz was arrested last August and had been under the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
