A 21-year-old man pleaded no contest today to a felony sexual battery charge involving an attack on a mentally disabled woman aboard a Metro bus.
Kerry Trotter also pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of indecent exposure, according to Deputy District Attorney Sarah Ballog.
Trotter attacked the 18-year-old woman—who was said to have the mental capacity of a 10-year-old—after they both boarded a Metro bus at La Cienega and Jefferson boulevards on Nov. 7, 2012, according to authorities.
