Police said a 15-year-old girl who was receiving services from the Department of Social Services said she had met Ekwonna on a social media application called “Tagged” and set up a meeting with him where he’d pay for sex.
The two met in the Quarterfield Crossing Apartments in Glen Burnie, where the 15-year-old performed sexual acts in exchange for money, police said in charging documents.
As the teenager attempted to leave, Ekwonna pulled out a handgun, police said. He demanded his money back and the girl complied and left. Ekwonna faces a number of charges, including armed robbery, assault, prostitution and two counts of third-degree sex offense.
Ekwonna has been with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington for 14 months. He was denied bail at a court hearing on Friday’ because the charges against him are “incredibly disturbing could pose a “danger to the community.”
Federal court records show that Ekwonna and his father, Harrison, were accused in a civil lawsuit with beating an inmate who had already voluntarily submitted while the two were corrections officers at a Washington, D.C., jail.
