Presiding Judge Robert Naraja ordered the 43-year-old Luto to appear in court for his change of plea hearing on Oct. 18, 2010.
Luto’s defense attorney, Assistant Public Defender Richard Miller, and Assistant Attorney General Peter Prestley, the prosecutor, have informed Naraja that Luto has accepted a plea offer from the government.
The Attorney General’s Office charged Luto with assault and battery, kidnapping, and disturbing the peace.
On May 27, 2010, Luto arrived at the workplace of his former girlfriend who was then asked by the defendant to go with him to his barracks in Garapan, so they could talk.
Luto hailed a taxi and suddenly grabbed the victim’s arms and forced her inside the vehicle.
