Mayor Patrick Wojahn of leftist College Park, Maryland, a nirvana for the Old Line State’s “LGBTQ” crowd, was an upcoming star.
He was a boon companion to his “mentor,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He attended a shindig at the White House with Buttigieg. Photos of the two bosom buddies abound, and Wojahn hobnobbed with top Democrats.
But then, one might say, Wojahn turned into a dark alley … a very dark alley … that led to his arrest. Prince George County Police have charged him with 56 counts of possessing and distributing kiddie porn.
Wojahn quickly resigned.
Aberrant Sex Central to His Life
How long Wojahn has been dabbling in kiddie sex is unclear from his arrest record, but one thing is clear: His disordered and dangerous sexual activity was central to his identity, as a profile in the homosexual newspaper Washington Blade showed.
“Though he grew up in northeastern Wisconsin surrounded by the timber industry and dairy farms, he identified very closely with the students and other residents of this small college town,” the Blade reported:
“Going to college in Madison enabled me to come out,” Wojahn explained. “The university is the first time that a lot of people leave home and are able to explore who they are.”
The coming out process began for Wojahn when he traveled to Germany during his junior year in high school. When he returned home, he knew “there was no going back.”
“I knew that I would be coming out at some point,” he said. “The question was how and when.”
The when would be when he was 21 after he traveled to Moscow his junior year in college. He saw the post-Soviet LGBTQ community emerge as anti-sodomy laws were repealed and other legal protections became enacted.
Wojahn attended law school at Georgetown University, the oldest Catholic college in the United States, and “it was not too long after moving to Maryland that Wojahn found himself caught up in the state’s battle for LGBTQ rights.”
Elected to the College Park Council in 2007 and mayor eight years later, Wojahn — who mistakenly believes he is “married” to a man — then began rubbing elbows with Buttigieg.
“I actually met Mayor Pete Buttigieg shortly after I was elected mayor in 2015,” Wojahn told the Blade. “I went to the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Winter Meeting in D.C. in January and he was assigned to be my buddy.”
From there, the “mentoring” began:
The two continued to talk over the phone and Buttigieg explained the conference to him and what would take place at the meeting. Later, they would both attend a White House reception during the Obama administration where Dave and Chasten (Buttigieg) would meet as well.
Buttigieg continued to mentor Wojahn, advising him on how to get the most out of his participation in the conference.
“I now serve in a leadership role as vice chair of city livability and bicycling in part due to his mentorship.”
Naturally, the two lavender boys discussed what “being an openly gay mayor” was like, which “became an issue” when Wojahn proposed flying the rainbow sodomy flag over City Hall during “Pride Month.”
No worries about that, though. The city attorney OK’d it, and all was peachy in the pinkest part of Maryland.
Amusingly, Wojahn pinpointed a major shortcoming of the Prince George’s County police force. It didn’t have an “LGBTQ liaison.”
Wojahn’s Arrest
Well, the cops in Prince George’s County sure know an “LGBTQ” problem when they see one now.
Thus, the arrest of Wojahn.
“On February 17, 2023, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified the PGPD that a social media account operating in the county possessed and distributed suspected child pornography,” police said:
The image and videos had been uploaded to the social media account in January of 2023. Through various investigative techniques, PGPD investigators discovered the social media account belonged to Wojahn.
At a news conference, Police Chief Malik Aziz said the social media account was on Kik, an instant message service that perverts seem to prefer. On January 31, federal authorities arrested and charged former ABC producer James Meek with similar crimes. He, too, used Kik.
County gumshoes served a warrant on Wojahn at his home and took the usual tools of the child porn trade: “multiple cell phones, a storage device, a tablet and a computer.”
Cops arrested and charged him on March 2. He faces 40 counts of possession and 16 counts of promotion and distribution. He is being held without bond, court records show.
The obvious question is what Wojahn’s “husband” and Buttigieg and his “husband” know about the crimes.
In his resignation letter, Wojahn laughably claimed “I am stepping away to deal with my own mental health.“
He faces 360 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
The arrest suggests that Buttigieg’s “mentoring” did not include telling Wojahn not to peddle or possess kiddie porn.
