Teen Charged with Rape of 12-year-old girl
John Kendall Edison Jr.,
charged with rape of a child
"It Happens All The Time" --- the famous quote of
St. Mary's States Attorney Richard Fritz to reporter
Chris Wallace when explaining how he and two others
plead guilty to the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl
when he was 18. The victim said she did not consent
was held down by the three who took turns with her.
Now Fritz is in charge of prosecuting a 16-year-old
boy for the rape of another underage girl.
On July 5th St. Mary’s County BCI
detectives arrested John Kendall Edison Jr., 16 year
of age, from Great Mills, Maryland. He was charged
as an adult with Second Degree Rape, Second Degree
Sex Offense, Fourth Degree Sex Offense, and Second
Degree Assault and incarcerated at the St. Mary’s
County Detention Center. The arrest came as a
result of an investigation into the rape of a 12
year old girl at the suspect’s home, which occurred
in the early morning hours of July 5th .
