Court continues change of plea hearing in sexual abuse case

The 30-year-old Aguon was arrested last March. The victims were 14 and 13 years old.

Variety learned that Aguon will plead guilty to a lesser charge, and go to trial for the higher offense.

He is also facing the revocation of his probation.

In May 2006, Gov. Benigno R. Fitial commuted the sentence of Aguon “for compassionate and humanitarian reasons and in the public interest.”

Aguon was convicted of burglary, voluntary manslaughter and escaping from police custody. His jail sentence was supposed to end on Feb. 3, 2007.

Aguon was sentenced in 2000 to five years imprisonment, all suspended except for the first four months, for burglary.

In 2001, Aguon was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, five years suspended, for voluntary manslaughter.

He got an additional one year jail term after he pleaded guilty in 2003 to escape.

In his most recent case, Assistant Attorney General Russel Lorfing is the prosecutor, while Chief Public Defender Adam Hardwicke represents the defendant.
