Waldorf man arrested for sexually assaulting a minor online in Anne Arundel County

WALDORF, Maryland. – Yesterday, a man was arrested by police after an investigation by the Maryland State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force revealed evidence of sexual harassment of minors on the Internet.

The suspect is Rafee Al-Mansur, 33, of Waldorf, Maryland. Al-Mansur is charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He was taken to the Anne Arundel County Detention Center.

Beginning in April 2024, members of the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force collected evidence of sexual solicitation of minors in an online chat. An investigation led to the identification of a suspect who believed he was communicating with a 13-year-old girl in an online chat.

Investigators from the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations, obtained a search warrant for the suspect's residence in Charles County. Al-Mansur was arrested at the scene.

The Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit coordinates the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a joint law enforcement effort involving police departments across Maryland and made possible in part by grants from the Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy and a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. Task Force investigators focus on identifying individuals involved in child pornography over the Internet and other related crimes that victimize children.

The investigation is ongoing.
