The day after that, he was arrested on 40 counts of possession of child exploitative material and 16 counts of distribution of child exploitative material.“This is an unprecedented case in our county in which a former elected official has been accused of a crime of this nature," Braveboy said, per WJLA."We elect leaders with the expectation that they will serve, protect, and advocate for our children, families, and communities and not harm them in anyway.
