An attorney for a 33-year-old man who was due to be sentenced last month for sex trafficking was granted a request Thursday to withdraw from the case after his client said he wanted to go back on his guilty plea. U.S. District Judge John Holcomb appointed attorney Christina Sinha of the Federal Public Defender’s Office to represent Leslie Anthony Bailey going forward. Sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 23, but Sinha told Holcomb it was “highly likely” she would ask for a new date before then. The defendant said his attorney at the time, Jonathan Evans, told him, “If the judge asks you tell him you signed that” plea agreement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristin Spencer said she would resist any move to withdraw the plea.
