The jury trial for a Mississippi carnival worker accused of a brutal sexual assault in Walworth County is set to begin late next week, but the man’s lawyer is “hopeful” both sides can reach an agreement before then.
At 25-year-old Terrence D. LeFlore’s final pretrial hearing Tuesday, his attorney said Walworth County District Attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld will meet with the victim’s family to discuss a counterproposal for a plea agreement.
LeFlore faces charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree sexual assault, armed robbery, aggravated battery, first-degree reckless injury and obstructing an officer.
Prosecutors accuse LeFlore of sexually assaulting and trying to kill a 21-year-old woman who was found in her car in the first block of South Lincoln Street in Elkhorn in August of 2018.
Police arrested him a few days later, at the Walworth County Fairgrounds.
