At a hearing Tuesday, Aug. 19, in Torrance Superior Court, Lamont Dominic Steele pleaded no contest to elder abuse and assault by force likely to produce great bodily injury for repeatedly punching Joseph Lordeon of Redondo Beach and knocking him unconscious. Additionally, under his no-contest plea which is tantamount to a guilty plea but cannot be used against a defendant in civil court Steele admitted to a great bodily injury sentencing enhancement allegation.
