College Park, Maryland announced the removal of Mayor Wojahn after he was arrested on 56 counts of child pornography.
First Gay Male Mayor in Small Town Distributed Child Porn
The 47-year-old mayor, who has been a frequent guest at the White House and was the first openly gay man to hold the mayoral office in his city, now faces these serious felony charges.
On Thursday morning, Patrick Lewis Wojahn, the Democratic mayor of College Park, Maryland, who has positioned himself as a role model for LGBTQ youth, was taken into custody on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography.
A total of 56 counts of child sex offenses were filed against him, including 40 charges of possessing exploitative material involving minors and 16 counts of distributing child pornography.
Police said they were tipped off on Feb.17 by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to a social media account operated from within the county that in January posted child pornography.
In 2015, Wojahn ran for mayor after serving on the city council for eight years with a goal of helping College Park become a top-tier college town.
However, he was recently arrested after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) notified the Prince George’s County Police Department on February 17 about images and videos of child sexual abuse that were uploaded to a social media account within its jurisdiction.
The PGPD investigators determined that the account belonged to Wojahn, according to a press release from the police department on Thursday.
On Tuesday, PGPD detectives executed a search warrant at Wojahn’s residence in College Park and found multiple cell phones, a storage device, a tablet, and a computer.
The mayor was handcuffed on Thursday by the police department’s Internet Crimes Against Child Unit as a result of their investigation.
As journalist Andy Ngo reported, Wojahn used to have the Instagram username and Twitter handle, “Patrick4CP,” his re-election tagline, Patrick for College Park. Child pornography is often abbreviated as “CP” by child predators searching for it online.
Wohahn’s Resignation Letter
“While this investigation does not involve any official city business of any kind, it is in the best interests of our community that I step aside and not serve as a distraction…” Wojahn wrote Thursday in the memo posted to the city of College Park’s official site.
Ties to Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg
The duo met when Wojahn was first elected in 2015 and went to the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting in the nation’s capital, where the Biden official “was assigned to be my buddy.” (Not long afterward, the pair’s respective marital partners, Kolesar and Chasten Buttigieg were introduced to each other at a White House reception under the Obama administration.)
Wojahn and Buttigieg kept in touch as time passed. At a summertime campaign stop in Maryland, the mentor and mentee reunited to drink beers together
