On September 28, 2021, the Anne Arundel County Police Department was notified by school officials of allegations involving a sexual relationship between a student and an employee of Old Mill High School.
The School Resource Officer and school officials interviewed the student as it was learned that the student was sexually assaulted by the staff member the day prior, 09/27/2021. Notification was made to the Board of Education and the staff member was banned from returning to Old Mill High School while the investigation was ongoing.
The victim, a 16-year-old-female was later interviewed at the Anne Arundel County Child Advocacy Center. During the interview, the victim disclosed being sexually assaulted by the suspect who was identified as Fulgencio Salomon Jolon, a 30-year-old-male employee of Old Mill High School.
The Anne Arundel County Child Abuse Unit along with members from the Department of Social Services coordinated further investigation to include obtaining evidence and conducting additional witness interviews. Upon the conclusion of this investigation, detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Jolon with three counts of 2nd-degree assault, 4th-degree sex offense, and 4th-degree sex offense involving a person of authority. Last evening, November 30, 2021, Jolon was taken into custody without incident.
As this is still an active and ongoing investigation the Anne Arundel County Police is urging anyone with information on this or other incidents involving the suspect, Fulgencio Jolon, to contact the Anne Arundel County Child Abuse Unit at 410-222-4733. One can also remain anonymous by calling the Anne Arundel County Tip Line 410-222-4700 or Metro Crime Stoppers.
