GREENBELT, Md. — An investigation conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Baltimore and the Calvert County Sheriff’s Department landed a former youth and high school football coach in federal prison for 40 years, followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for producing child sexual abuse material. Moshe Michael Imel, 53, of 8206 Fairfield Drive, Owings, Maryland, received the 40-year prison sentence on Aug. 3 for two counts of production of child pornography involving two minor victims.

Imel also pleaded guilty to charges related to the sexual abuse of minors in three cases in the Circuit Court for Calvert County and was sentenced on Aug. 4, 2023.

“Moshe Michael Imel’s crimes are especially disturbing considering he was in a position of trust in the community,” said HSI Baltimore Special Agent in Charge James C. Harris. “As a youth and high school football coach, he was an authority figure and a person these young athletes looked up to. Through his reprehensible actions, Mr. Imel not only violated that trust but also traumatized his minor victims. HSI will always work with our state and local law enforcement partners to ensure predators like Mr. Imel are held liable for their perverse actions.”

Between July 2018 and November 2020, Imel was an assistant football coach at a Calvert County high school. In March 2021, law enforcement officials interviewed two victims who reported that beginning when Imel coached them in a youth football program and continuing through high school, he groomed and then sexually abused them.

Imel admitted that he directed the victims to expose and touch themselves in sexual ways and ultimately engaged in sexual contact with them on numerous occasions. Imel also created sexually explicit videos of the victims documenting his abuse.

Officials searched Imel’s home with a warrant and confirmed that the basement — including the action figures lining the walls, a computer setup, cameras, sex toys, and other paraphernalia — was as the victims had described it to authorities. A review of 14 electronic devices seized at Imel’s residence revealed that they all contained child sexual abuse material or evidence of Imel’s sexual contact with minors.

This investigation was conducted by HSI Baltimore and the Calvert County Sheriff’s Department with significant assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland and the Calvert County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Huntingtown High School Teacher Bryan Mullins Conducted Weekend Marathon of Sex with Student

WHAT’S GOING ON IN PRINCE FREDERICK
BACKROOM DEALS OF JUSTICE?

Despite Guilty Plea to Having Sex With Student, Mullins Not Placed on Sex Offender Registry by Calvert States Attorney or Court. Now, in June of 2024, Mullins has filed in Calvert Circuit Court for Reconsideration of the Outcome of His Conviction in a Plea Deal with Calvert States Attorney Bob Harvey.

Bryan Matthew Mullins, of Chesapeake Beach, has filed a motion in Calvert County Circuit Court to have his guilty plea and sentence in a felony conviction for his sexual affair with a student at Huntingtown High School reduced or reconsidered, according to records of the court. As of June 9, 2024, court records show that Mullins was not required to be listed on the Maryland Sex Offender Registry, which appears to be in conflict with Maryland law, especially for a teacher who was involved in repeated sexual abuse of a student in the classroom and elsewhere. Court records, shown below, reveal that a reconsideration was held by Calvert Circuit Court Judge Mark Chandlee on September 12, 2022

CALVERT SPECIAL NEEDS INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANT SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON IN CHILD PORNOGRAPHY


Court records show that Tyler Edward Perkins had hundreds of images and videos of child sex abuse including sadistic conduct

Greenbelt, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang, on January 26, 2024, sentenced Tyler Edward Perkins, 30, of 906 Falls Point Way, Huntingtown, Maryland, to seven years in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release for possession of child pornography.  The statement of facts also established that Perkins distributed child sexual abuse material to others and Judge Chuang took that into account in imposing today’s sentence.  Judge Chuang also ordered that Perkins must pay restitution of $12,000 and upon his release from prison, Perkins will be required to register as a sex offender in the places where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). 

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron; Special Agent in Charge James C. Harris of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Baltimore; Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., Superintendent of the Maryland State Police; and Calvert County State’s Attorney Robert Harvey.

According to his guilty plea agreement, Perkins was an instructional assistant at a school for children requiring special education services.  On June 1, 2022, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Perkins’s residence after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received CyberTips from the instant messaging platform Kik, that accounts associated with usernames, which investigation determined were controlled by Perkins, had uploaded files containing child pornography to Kik.  Kik also determined that many of the uploaded files were distributed to other users in private chats.

Law enforcement investigating the CyberTips were able to identify Perkins’s residence as being associated with the distribution of child pornography.  During the search of his residence, law enforcement seized several electronic devices.  A digital forensic examination of the devices revealed that they contained at least 600 images of child sexual abuse material, including videos, documenting the sexual abuse of minors, including prepubescent minors.  Further, some of the material portrayed sadistic or masochistic conduct.  The investigation did not reveal any evidence of Perkins committing any sexual assault or having illegal contact with any child.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.  

Lengthy Sentence in Federal Prison for Carroll County Coach of the Year

CARROLL COUNTY COACH And Substitute Teacher Sentenced To 17 Years In Federal Prison For Sexual Exploitation of A Child

Defendant Used Aliases on Social Media to Coerce and Persuade Victims to Send Him Sexually Explicit Images and Videos

Baltimore, Maryland – On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, U.S. District Judge Brendan A. Hurson sentenced Evan Thomas Harris Frock age 34, of Taneytown, Maryland, to 17 years in the Bureau of Prisons for sexual exploitation of a child. Frock, a substitute teacher and volleyball coach in Carroll County, Maryland, posing as a teenager, used social media accounts to meet and communicate with children and to encourage them to produce and send to Frock images and videos of themselves engaged in sexually explicit activity. 

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron; Special Agent in Charge William J. DelBagno of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), Baltimore Field Office; Carroll County Sheriff James DeWees; Chief Gregory Der of the Howard County Police Department, and Carroll County State’s Attorney Haven Shoemaker.

Frock possessed several hundred commercially available images and videos of child sexual abuse material that depicted toddlers, violence, and bestiality.

U.S. Attorney

 According to his plea agreement, from 2021 through May 2022, Frock, pretending to be a minor male and a minor female, used a variety of aliases on several social media platforms to communicate with other users, including eight minor victims, ranging in age from 9 to 17 years old. Specifically, Frock used internet-based accounts and aliases to persuade, induce, and coerce the victims to produce sexually explicit images and videos of themselves and send those images and videos to Frock. On at least one occasion, Frock distributed a sexually explicit video of a minor male and sent images of his own genitalia to the minors to induce them to reciprocate. Further, Frock possessed several hundred commercially available images and videos of child sexual abuse material that depicted toddlers, violence, and bestiality.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.  Led by the United States Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.  For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.  For more information about Internet safety education, please visit www.justice.gov/psc and click on the “Resources” tab on the left of the page.
