A 27-year-old man, a washington, D.C., police officer
has been charged with soliciting sex from a 15-year-old in Glen Burnie
and then robbing her at gunpoint, in January.
According to Police statement ' A 15-year-old girl who was receiving services from the Department of
Social Services said she had met Chukwuemeka Ekwonna on a social media application
called “Tagged” and set up a meeting with him where he’d pay for sex.
The
two met in the Quarterfield Crossing Apartments in Glen Burnie, where
the 15-year-old performed sexual acts in exchange for money, police said
in charging documents.
As the teenager attempted to leave,
Ekwonna pulled out a handgun, police said. He demanded his money back
and the girl complied and left. Ekwonna faces a number of charges,
including armed robbery, assault, prostitution and two counts of
third-degree sex offense.
Ekwonna
has been with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington for 14
months. He was denied bail at a court hearing on Friday’ because the
charges against him are “incredibly disturbing could pose a “danger to
the community.”
Federal court records show that Ekwonna and his
father, Harrison, were accused in a civil lawsuit with beating an inmate
who had already voluntarily submitted while the two were corrections
officers at a Washington, D.C., jail.
