Former LGBT Activist Democrat Maryland Mayor, Mentored by Buttigieg, Receives 30 Years in Child Porn Case
Patrick Wojahn is eligible for parole in 7.5 years.
A judge sentenced a former College Park, Maryland, mayor, known for his LGBT activism and mentored by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, to 30 years after he pleaded guilty to 140 child pornography charges.
Some of the photos and videos included infants.
Patrick Wojahn received 150 years, but the judge suspended 120 of them. He is eligible for parole in 7.5 years:
Patrick Wojahn, who resigned as mayor of College Park, Maryland, on March 2 before his arrest, pleaded guilty to 140 charges related to child pornography as part of a deal struck with prosecutors. He was sentenced to 150 years total, with all but 30 years suspended, but still will be eligible for parole in 7.5 years under state law, The Washington Post reported. The conviction came after investigators linked an account sharing illicit images to his government email address.
“I do sense the remorsefulness,” Prince George’s County Circuit Court Judge Karen Mason said of Wojahn on Monday during an emotional hearing when prosecutors read hours of victim impact statements. “And I do know you take responsibility.”
30 years, but eligible for parole in 7.5 years.
State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy described Wojahn’s sentence as “instructive.” I don’t know why: “It instructs us that child pornography is not simply about images, it’s about the pain behind the images, the tragedies that have occurred in these young people’s lives, that should never have happened to them.”
According to court documents, Wojahn used the social media site Kik to upload and distribute child pornography.
Back in February, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified the Prince George’s County Police Department that a social media account in the county distributed suspected child pornography in January. Police said they investigated the matter and found the social media account with the screen name “skippy_md” belonged to Wojahn. Investigators believe Wojahn used a virtual private network (VPN) to mask his location when accessing the social media account.
Investigators linked the social media account to Wojahn after a subpoena revealed that his College Park government email address was listed as the recovery email for the account. They also discovered Wojahn’s phone number and home IP address were linked to the account.

He’s remorseful he got caught. Seven and a half ears….
I swear some judges have secret sympathies for people like this.
Good thing this judge was randomly assigned to THIS case, and not (say) any of the J6 cases.
The J6 cases are being tried in a federal court, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
This case was tried in a Maryland state court, the Prince George’s County Circuit Court.
This judge would not have been assigned to the J6 cases. Neither would the judges trying the J6 cases have been assigned to this case. They are entirely different court systems.
Misplaced my response meant for you so, here it is again. He’s being facetious. He doesn’t literally mean that a judge from a different jurisdiction should have been assigned in a J6 case. He’s just mocking the less than random way J6 defendants oddly are forced to suffer randomly assigned partisan hacks who hate President Trump. You’re not half as smart as I’m sure you think you are.
Not so secret
instructive = get caught and I’ll just slap your wrist
Buttigiegs of a feather, flock together…
The chance of Lil Petey being asked about this by a “journalist” is zero.
Just hit me what would be a good campaign theme song for FJBiden..”:Thank Heaven for Little Girls”.

Sorry about the response, meant for “hald” above.
That “judge” has no place on the bench. A park bench is about the level of her competency. This is pathetic.
“sense” … The judge should be thrown in jail with the pervert/democrat … BIRM.
Sssh. She’s an undercover Betazed.
Continuing the trend of utterly offensive, morally bankrupt and indefensible laxity in parole eligibility standards that add insult to the injury of excessively lenient jail sentences. Perps should serve at least 85% of their sentence, before parole eligibility applies.
This scum shouldn’t breathe free air until he’s served at least 25 years behind bars.
Trump is adamantly AGAINST mandatory sentences where you have to serve like 85% of your sentence. Just look at Trump’s fawning all over early parole and his Kardasahian fans. So is Trump “utterly offensive, morally bankrupt and indefensible in his support of laxity in parole eligibility standards?”
Meanwhile Democrats continue to use children as sex toys but Trump is the one you’re angry with? 😂😂
But, but Trump!1!11!!1!
I made a legitimate statement criticizing lax parole eligibility standards, usually promulgated by Dhimmi-crats.
You can make your own anti-Trump comments without posing asinine rhetorical questions to me. And, I’ve never said that President Trump — or, any other GOP politician, for that matter — is above criticism.
This doesn’t mean you couldn’t give Buttigieg’s “mini me” MORE punitive jail time….
All these homosexualists should be sent to Alcatraz for life, kept in isolated cells, and be forced to watch Raquel Welch films.
E for effort.
Barbarella. Two birds with one stone.
Bwahaahaaa!!!
Do you make any distinction at all between child molesters and “homosexualists?”
Same thing
Not to those that decided to finally prosecute those that infiltrated the priesthood or the Boy Scouts…
Just outlaw homosexuality as it was when the country was sane and moral.
Why do you even bother trying?
That’s not an acceptable outcome. I could maybe see an argument for some leniency if this dude only had possession. That would indicate he knew it was wrong and didn’t tell anyone or share the images b/c he DIDN’T share them. Except this weirdo paedophile did share the images, he willingly and knowingly distributed child pornography which, IMO, demonstrates he isn’t ashamed or remorseful about the actions …just about the consequences of being caught.
The feds can still nail him, like they nailed Deriek Chauvin.
Feds pursue a pedo Democrat ex-mayor? Fat chance.
Help me out. Why would they “strike a deal” with him.
150 years….throw away the key.
Period.
1) Given that Buttigieg was his “mentor”, one has to wonder at the curriculum.
2) Being that both Buttigieg and Wojahn were Democrat government officials, one also has to wonder how Wojahn actually ended up being charged and not given something like deferred prosecution. I assume that it was not a Soros prosecutor.
3) However, it is not unexpected that 80% of the deserved sentence upon conviction was wiped out at the git-go, as such is the Leftist way. Do not be surprised if there is an administrative decision that releases him earlier than in 7 1/2 years. For good behavior or success in a sex offender treatment program or some such.
Subotai Bahadur
Typical democrat, definitely a dementia Joe supporter
I hope that he gets a cellmate with a “thing” for super-creepy white guys.
I hope he gets a big dude named Ben Dover
“Some of the photos and videos included infants.”
This garbage human will never make it out of prison alive.
He might
They will give him assumed name he will b selling drugs
N he will b in a different state.
Only so many days that’ll work when dude is a dead ringer for Walter White. Take it from a guy who forgets faces all his life, this one is unforgettable.
Dems say trans groomers and pedos are just Minor Attracted Persons, and shouldn’t be discriminated against??
It has been hard to keep up on news of the day, under the flood of headlines on this development.
Oh, wait. Strike that. Reverse it.
