The mayor of an East Coast liberal stronghold has resigned effective immediately following his arrest today on a litany of charges over one of the most heinous crimes imaginable:
Child pornography.
The Hill has more:
In a news release, the Prince George's County Police Department (PGPD) said that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified it that a social media account operating in the county possessed and distributed suspected child pornography.
PGPD investigators said that the social media account belonged to Mayor Patrick Wojahn.
Authorities conducted a search warrant at Wojhan's residence last month, where they recovered multiple cell phones, a storage device, a tablet and a computer, police said.
Wojahn, 47, was arrested and taken into custody by authorities early Thursday morning, charged with 40 counts of possession of child exploitative material and 16 counts of distribution of child exploitative material.
Wojahn, a Democrat and self-described cycling and civil rights activist, who uses he/him/his pronouns, was the mayor of College Park, Maryland, since 2015.
The city provided a brief statement thanking Wojahn for his service:
Last night, after business hours, Mayor Patrick L. Wojahn submitted his letter of resignation as Mayor of the City of College Park, effective immediately on March 2. Mayor Wojahn has served in this position since 2015 and on Council since 2007. The City of College Park thanks Mayor Wojahn for his many years of dedicated service.
Besides the statement from the city and Mayor Pro Tem Denise Mitchell, Wojahn released his own statement, claiming to have cooperated with authorities:
“Many of you have already reached out with well wishes and thoughts, and I am eternally grateful. I am stepping away to deal with my own mental health,” he added.
According to the city charter, College Park has 65 days to conduct a special election to fill the vacancy left by Wojahn.
