- He Solicited a Young Girl Online to Cuddle; She Was an Undercover Cop
HARFORD COUNTY, MD—The Harford County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with the Harford County Child Advocacy Center, has announced the arrest of 30-year-old Joshua John Brown of Perryville. The arrest follows an undercover operation aimed at combating the online solicitation of minors.
The operation began on July 22, 2024, with Harford County detectives posing as a 13-year-old girl on a social media platform. During their interactions, Brown, using the alias ‘John,’ acknowledged the inappropriateness of his actions due to the age difference but persisted in making sexually suggestive comments and proposing a meeting.
Brown suggested activities including watching a movie and cuddling, and sought to ensure secrecy due to the age disparity. He arranged to meet on July 26, 2024, in Bel Air, intending to engage in sexual activities.
Detectives observed Brown arriving at the planned location and conducted surveillance until they confirmed his identity through his vehicle registration and Maryland driver's license. He was arrested as he tried to leave the area and was taken to the Harford County Detention Center. Initially held on $5,000 bail, Brown has since been released on bond.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office urges anyone with information related to this case or other potential victims to come forward. They also emphasize the importance of parents discussing the risks of online interactions with their children, encouraging vigilance and open communication about their online activities.
- Frustrated Fishermen Demand Answers, Transparency After Vineyard Wind Failure
NANTUCKET - Members of the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association (NEFSA) and the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA) are demanding a thorough investigation into the recent incident involving a detached blade from a Vineyard Wind turbine.
The mishap, which occurred on July 13, resulted in widespread debris across significant fishing areas from Nantucket to Cape Cod, causing concern among local fishermen.
Jerry Leeman, CEO of NEFSA, expressed the community's frustration, stating, “Trust between fishermen and offshore wind developers is at an absolute nadir."
He emphasized the necessity for the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) to conduct a detailed and transparent investigation to restore confidence within the fishing community.
The incident has sparked a strong response, with a letter to BSEE, signed by 1730 stakeholders, urging the agency to meet specific investigatory criteria before allowing Vineyard Wind to resume operations.
The letter outlines several demands, including a comprehensive review of all turbines, public disclosure of investigation findings, and an evaluation of potential changes to the offshore wind permitting process to enhance federal oversight.
The delay in Vineyard Wind’s acknowledgment of the incident and the perceived downplaying of its severity have further strained relations, prompting calls for heightened transparency and accountability.
The fishing community, backed by NEFSA and RODA, awaits a prompt response from BSEE to address their concerns comprehensively and ensure the safety and sustainability of their livelihoods.
