Charges filed by the KCPAO: Monday, Nov. 7
The overwhelming majority of criminal cases filed daily by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office don’t receive public attention.
That’s not the fault of the public or news reporters — it’s understandable with the volume of felony cases we file each day.
The KCPAO is sharing the number of adult cases filed each day and additional details about a handful of specific cases to highlight the kinds of cases we handle. Details below are from the public charging documents.

Hate Crime
Attempted Assault In The Second Degree
The defendant shoved a 16-year-old victim into a busy intersection while yelling racial slurs at her. The racial slurs included “You’re a f****** Asian b****!” “Go back to your country Asian b****!” and “Why are you in this country?” He shoved her directly into a moving vehicle and while she was still struck by the vehicle, the driver had sufficient time to slam on her breaks. The defendant then proceeded to chase the victim down the street, attempting to shove her at least three more times. Given the biased nature of this incident, that it was an assault on a stranger, that the assault was unprovoked, and that the level of violence escalated to shoving the victim directly into a moving vehicle, King County prosecutors have significant community safety concerns and argued that bail should be set at $100,000. The first appearance judge set bail at $50,000.

Attempted Rape of a Child in the Second Degree
Communication With A Minor For Immoral Purposes
In this case investigated by Bothell Police, the defendant is accused of sexually communicating with a person he believed to be a 13-year old girl and arriving at the location of that child with the stated intention of engaging in sexual intercourse with her. The depraved nature of his stated intentions, which would have been carried out with a live child, but for the chance that he engaged with an undercover agent, demonstrate his risk to the community. King County prosecutors argued for $100,000 bail. The first appearance judge set bail at $50,000.

Animal Cruelty in the First Degree
The cat in this Seattle case died of a combination of malnutrition and the ingesting fabric and plastic to stave off starvation. The owner, who is the defendant in this case, engaged in criminal negligence by failing to feed the cat, named Celine, leading to starvation and the untimely death. King County prosecutors argued for $10,000 bail. A first appearance judge set bail at $3,000.
