On January 31, 2025, Julian Everett, a 41-year-old resident of New Carrollton, Maryland, was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison followed by 20 years of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman delivered the sentence for charges related to kidnapping minors and producing child sexual abuse material.
The announcement was made by Erek L. Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, alongside Special Agent in Charge William J. DelBagno from the FBI's Baltimore Field Office; Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha N. Braveboy; and Chief Malik Aziz of the Prince George’s County Police Department.
According to Everett's guilty plea, he admitted to sexually abusing several victims and capturing these acts on camera at his home in New Carrollton during the years 2005, 2015, and 2016. Four of these victims were minors.
In one instance on July 11, 2005, Everett transported a minor identified as Victim 2 from Virginia to his residence where he engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with her after providing her with a drink. He also took nude photographs without her consent.
On August 23, 2015, Everett drove an adult victim from a Washington D.C. nightclub to his home after stopping at a gas station where he provided her with a beverage before engaging in non-consensual sexual acts.
Another incident occurred on August 21, 2016, involving Victim 1 who was then a minor aged seventeen. She was taken from her residence to Everett's workplace at a barbershop before being given a drink that led to unconsciousness and later waking up during an assault which was recorded without consent.
Everett was arrested on March 21, 2019, in Prince George’s County following investigations that uncovered child sexual abuse material on his electronic devices including footage involving another unidentified victim.
A fourth victim reported an assault incident occurring between March and April of 2015 where she became lightheaded after consuming a drink provided by Everett leading to multiple assaults that were also recorded without consent.
This case forms part of Project Safe Childhood initiated by the Department of Justice aimed at combating child exploitation through coordinated efforts across various levels of law enforcement agencies.
U.S. Attorney Barron commended the collaborative work done by the FBI along with local authorities such as the Office of State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County and thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Timothy Hagan and Thomas Sullivan for prosecuting this case effectively.
