Man pleads to sex, drug charges
Lifetime registration as a sexual offender is a part of a plea entered by a Warren man Monday.
In addition to the underlying sex offenses, Mitchell A. Bryant, 23, Warren, also pleaded guilty to drug offenses stemming from selling cocaine to a confidential informant.
Bryant pleaded guilty to charges before President Judge Maureen Skerda including statutory sexual assault, sexual assault and indecent assault. Six other charges were not prosecuted.
According to City of Warren Police, Bryant and a 15-year-old female were found unconscious in a vehicle at a fuel station in the city in December.
As she was removed from the vehicle to be transported to Warren General Hospital for treatment, the girl was found to have no clothes on from the waist down, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
Responders reportedly administered Narcan to Bryant.
The alleged victim told police she remembered paying Bryant for a ride to a friend’s house.
She said they both used what she believed to be cocaine in the vehicle, according to the affidavit, and didn’t remember anything, including undressing, after the vehicle turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue, according to the affidavit.
A sexual assault kit was taken and eventually brought back a DNA match for Bryant, according to the affidavit.
The alleged victim told police she did not consent to having sex with the defendant.
District Attorney Rob Greene said the plea brings lifetime registration as a Megan’s Law offender.
Bryant also pleaded guilty to charges including criminal use of a communications facility and possession with intent to deliver while six other drug-related offenses were not prosecuted.
Skerda said those charges date from two incidents in 2021 when Bruan sold two grams of cocaine to a confidential informant.
