   CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A 29-year-old Cleveland man who pleaded guilty to   
   raping a woman at Edgewater Park in December 2019 was scheduled to be   
   sentenced by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Kevin Kelley   
   Thursday; however, at the hearing, he    
   fired his attorney.   
      
   Judge Kelley said this was Ambus Shephard’s third attorney.   
      
   On May 3, Shephard pleaded guilty to rape and felonious assault.   
      
   In court on Thursday, Shephard also said once he retains a new attorney, he   
   wants to withdraw the guilty plea.   
      
   “I’m going to grant the motion to withdraw and we will appoint new counsel   
   then we will try to do this as quickly as we can out of respect for the   
   victims who have been waiting for a long time,” Judge Kelley said.

   Cleveland police said on Dec. 29, 2019, Shephard approached the 24-year-old   
   victim, sexually assaulted her and then fled the scene.   
      
   A Good Samaritan found the victim and called police.   
      
   EMS transported to a nearby hospital where she was treated for her injuries.   
      
   Police arrested Shephard on Jan. 3, 2020.   
      
   There is no new hearing date for Shepard.   
      
   Cuyahoga County prosecutors said Shephard is also facing charges in an   
   unrelated sexual assault case.
