Under deal, Chavous's charge of soliciting prostitute will be dropped D.C. Council candidate Kevin B. Chavous agreed to avoid the unit block of K Street NE and perform community service as part of a deal to have a misdemeanor charge of soliciting a prostitute dropped. As part of the deal announced at a hearing Tuesday morning in D.C. Superior Court, prosecutors agreed to defer charges for four months. If Chavous performs 32 hours of community service and stays off the block of K Street during that time, according to the deal, the charges will be dropped. Chavous, a Democrat, is seeking the Ward 7 Council seat now held by Yvette M. Alexander (D) and once held by his father, Kevin P. Chavous. According to court documents, Chavous offered an undercover police officer $20 in exchange for oral sex in December. He pleaded not guilty in early January and vowed to continue with his campaign. Chavous, 27, declined comment on the case after the hearing. His attorney, David Benowitz, said prosecutors approached them with the deal. Another hearing in the case is scheduled for May 23.
