A 36-year-old Kirkland man and level three sex offender has pled guilty to five counts of assault with sexual motivation and was sentenced to more than three years in jail.

Daryl R. Sharma, who was under Washington State Department of Corrections’ (DOC) supervision, was arrested in October after he was recognized by DOC officers in a photo a Seattle woman posted on Twitter claiming he had groped her. The man was required to wear a GPS bracelet, which showed he had violated the terms of his probation.

The man was convicted in 2012 for third-degree assault after he grabbed a woman’s breast. He was sentenced to 20 months in prison but only served five. He was also convicted of similar incidents in 2002 and 2003. He is registered as living in Kirkland at the 12200 block of 95th Pl NE.
