For the second time in less than a month, I have to put the state of Maryland on BLAST. Maryland has truly blundered in releasing dangerous child rapists onto the streets to continue attacking innocent children. I recently blogged about Mahamu Kanneh (pictured above), an alleged pedophile whose case was dropped because he—a man who has attended college in this country (instruction in ENGLISH), said that he needed an interpreter. The court system claimed they could not find an appropriate interpreter in a timely manner so they let him loose onto the streets.  More here

Well, looks like Maryland has done it again!

A man who was arrested in connection with the sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl was accidentally released from the hospital he was beind [sic] held at Friday night.

John Henry Palmont Jr. was erroneously released Friday by the Prince George’s Department of Corrections. Palmont was being held at Prince George’s Hospital receiving treatment for injuries sustained during his arrest yesterday. Source

I’m holding in my hand case information on John Henry Palmont (pictured below) from the public records of Maryland.

 This guy’s criminal record includes theft, handgun possession, as well as reckless endangerment. Clearly this is not the type of person who should be loose on the streets of Maryland. However, Mr. Palmont has decided that jail is not his style. He does not want to spend any time in jail. Apparently he believes that it’s fine to [allegedly] rape children and commit other crimes but that he should not have to man-up and do any time whatsoever for his criminal actions. Unbelievable!

Police said that the victim told them the suspect knocked on her door at about 1:30 p.m. and asked to use the telephone. He then showed a handgun and sexually assaulted the girl, who was home alone…Link

If anyone reading this blog has information on this suspect PLEASE call police at 301-772-4908.

UPDATE!!! – BACK IN JAIL
