TOWSON, Md. (WBFF) — A FOX45 News investigation found that Baltimore County Circuit Court judges disproportionally hand down lenient sentences in criminal child sex cases involving illegal immigrants.
Public records show that Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger’s office filed 99 child sex crime cases between January 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024. Nearly 10% of the child sex cases in Baltimore County, involving nine defendants over a 17-month period, involved illegal immigrants from Central American countries.
Customs records show that illegal immigrant defendants who were initially detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) entered the country illegally at the nation’s southern border. Nearly all were in violation of parole when they were living in Maryland.
