Fox News is reporting: 13 mayors arrested on child sex crimes since 2021
The now-former mayor of College Park, Maryland, was arrested on child pornography charges Thursday morning, adding to a long list of mayors accused of preying on young children while exploiting the trust of their communities.
Patrick Wojahn, 47, is charged with 40 counts of possession of child exploitative material and 16 counts of distribution of child exploitative material, according to Prince George’s County Police.
Wojahn, who was elected mayor of College Park in November 2015 after serving as a city council member since 2007, submitted his letter of resignation Wednesday night, city officials said.
“The City of College Park thanks Mayor Wojahn for his many years of dedicated service,” the city said in a press release. “Effective immediately, Mayor Pro Tem Denise Mitchell will serve as presiding officer until a Special Election is held and a new Mayor has been sworn in.”

In his resignation letter, Wojahn did not confirm nor deny wrongdoing.
“On February 28, 2023, a search warrant was executed on my residence as part of an ongoing police investigation,” he wrote. “I have cooperated fully, and will continue to cooperate, with law enforcement. While this investigation does not involve any official city business of any kind, it is in the best interests of our community that I step aside and not serve as a distraction.”
“Many of you have already reached out with well wishes and thoughts, and I am eternally grateful,” he added. “I am stepping away to deal with my own mental health. I ask that you continue to keep me and my family in your prayer.”
Here’s what gets me. The FBI should be the primary party involved in the arrests and they are not. That is a symptom of a bigger problem. If they aren’t a part of resolving, are they a part of the problem?? We need more investigations by local and state enforcement agencies. We need more circumstantial evidence of how broad the problem is and who is involved. It’s been said that 70% of upper government is involved in such things. Let’s find the bigger issues and deal with them. This isn’t just a Disney problem. It’s a national problem with international fingers involved.
