Takoma Park police have yet to arrest the man they found last month having sex with the 15-year-old girl whose shocking story led to a sex scandal involving a U.S. Capitol police sergeant and a high school coach.
Takoma Park police say there is an arrest warrant for the man, but they will not reveal his name and would not provide a police report Monday.
Capt. Ed Coursey said he couldn’t say why police didn’t arrest the man the night he was found with the girl.
The scandal began to unravel at about 3 a.m. on July 28, when a Takoma Park police officer found the man and the girl in a parked car in an empty lot in the 7600 block of Maple Avenue.
She told police she was a prostitute and her “pimp” was a volunteer junior varsity assistant football coach who took her to D.C., Virginia and Maryland to have sex with his friends.
She told investigators that her pimp videotaped her having sex with his friends, including a man who was a U.S. Capitol police officer.
The next day, D.C. police arrested Arron Jahimal Burroughs, 35, a volunteer football coach at Bowie High School and a Metro bus driver.
He remains in jail on charges of first-degree child sexual abuse.
The next week, D.C. police and FBI arrested Sgt. Michael Malloy, 34, on child sexual abuse charges. Malloy told police that he and Burroughs were longtime friends.
But the man who Takoma Park police found with the teen that night, who told police that he picked her up in D.C. and paid her $150 for sex, remains at large.
