BROOKLYN, Md. – The Anne Arundel County Police Department has launched an investigation into an alleged child sex abuse case from the 1990s, according to a recent announcement. The incident reportedly occurred in the 200 block of Bishop Avenue in Brooklyn, MD.
The two victims, who were between the ages of six and ten at the time, claimed they were sexually assaulted by their babysitter’s son.
