Teen Dragged Into Car And Sexually Assaulted By Armed Men In Waldorf, Police Say
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Police are looking for a group of armed men who they say dragged a teen into a car and sexually assaulted her last week in Charles County.
The Charles County Sheriff's Office say the 16-year-old girl was walking on Melrose Court in Waldorf around 1 a.m. on Feb. 17 when she says a car passed her several times. The vehicle then stopped and a man got out and began talking to her. Another man got out and both suspects dragged the victim into the vehicle and forced her inside where two other men were, according to police.
About two hours later, authorities say the group of men pushed the girl out of the car and fled.
The victim -- who was visiting relatives from California -- began walking toward a convenience store to get help, and several people stopped to offer assistance. She initially declined due to "a language barrier and her hesitancy to get into another car," police say. However, an African-American man stopped to offer her help and she accepted.
Authorities say the good Samaritan drove her back to where she was staying. She later went to a hospital where she was treated.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have stopped to offer the victim assistance, somewhere near Post Office Road, to contact them.
Authorities are looking for the following car and suspects:
- Suspect Vehicle: Newer model vehicle, possibly a Jeep Cherokee, 4-door, black in color, dark tinted windows, with an American flag sticker on the lower passenger side front windshield, dark colored leather interior.

He also had an electronic monitoring device on his ankle.
