This is a combined law enforcement effort involving police departments across Maryland that is made possible in part due to grant funds provided by the Governor\u2019s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth and Victim Services and by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. Task force investigators focus on identifying those involved in child pornography via the Internet and other related crimes that victimize children.<\/p>\n<p>Any individuals with information relating to this investigation are asked to contact the Maryland State Police at 410-694-4706.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/01\/Christion-Allen-Williams.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23753\" src=\"http:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/01\/Christion-Allen-Williams.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Christion Allen Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p>CONTACT: Office of Media Communications, msp.media@maryland.gov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(BALTIMORE, MD) &#8212; Troopers arrested a Baltimore man Wednesday morning after a Maryland State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force developed evidence of his involvement in multiple child sex offenses.\u00a0 The suspect is identified as Christion Allen Williams, 21, of Baltimore, Maryland.\u00a0 Williams is charged with conspiracy to commit second-degree rape, attempted second-degree rape,<a href=\"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/2022\/01\/20\/maryland-state-police-arrest-baltimore-man-on-child-sex-offenses\/\">&nbsp;&nbsp;Read the Rest&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":162,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[28,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-releases","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/162"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23759,"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23752\/revisions\/23759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
