WASHINGTON — A man who worked for an after-school program at an elementary school in Kensington, Maryland, was charged after police said he sent inappropriate texts to two students over a five-year period.
Christopher Steve Escobar, 27, of Germantown, was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor, Montgomery County police said.
Escobar began inappropriately texting the two students when they were around 9 years old in August 2012, police said. He came into contact with the two boys as an employee of the Bar-T after-school program at Kensington Parkwood Elementary School, according to police.
He continued texting with the two students until 2017, when they were around 14 years old. The two victims did not know of each other’s texting with Escobar, police said.
Escobar is being held without bond.
Police believe there may be more victims. They are asking parents and guardians to talk to their children about possible interactions with Escobar and to contact detectives at 240-773-5400 if they believe their child was victimized.
