Former Georgetown Hoops Player Sentenced In Attempted Sex Assault

UPPER MARLBORO, MD — Former Georgetown University basketball player Victor Page, 44, was sentenced Friday to 25 years, suspend all but 20, in prison for strangling and attempting to sexually assault his live-in girlfriend’s 17-year-old daughter.

In June 2019, Page pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and attempted fourth-degree sex offense in an plea agreement.

According to the sentence handed down by the court, upon release, Page will also be on supervised probation for five years and must complete a mental health evaluation. In addition, he must register on the Sex Offender Registry for 15 years.

“I am pleased that this case has been fully resolved and that we were able to hold Mr. Victor Page accountable for his despicable actions and that he cannot harm anyone else for a very long time,” State’s Attorney Aisha N. Braveboy said in a news release. “I also applaud this victim and her family for having the courage to stand up to Mr. Page throughout this process in the criminal justice system.”

On the night of Dec. 30, 2018, Page forced his way into the victim’s bedroom and pushed her to the ground, started strangling her and attempted to remove her clothing, prosecutors said. She managed to get away and made it to the parking garage of the Camp Springs apartment complex where she, her mother and Page all lived.

However, surveillance cameras in the parking garage showed that Page caught up to the teen, forced her to the ground, and began strangling her until three people were able to free the victim.

In January, TMZ posted security camera video from the parking garage that showed Page tackling, subduing and choking the teen for more than a minute before bystanders intervened.

Page played for the Georgetown men’s basketball team from 1995 to 1997, but left the university without graduating, the student newspaper The Hoya reported. Page averaged 22.7 points as the Big East’s leading scorer and an all-conference performer in his 1997-98 sophomore season.

Page was not selected in the NBA draft but played in the Continental Basketball Association for several seasons with the Sioux Falls Skyforce before he was cut following problems with his work ethic, The Hoya reported.
