The former mayor of a Maryland college town pleaded guilty Wednesday to 140 charges stemming from child pornography possession and distribution, prosecutors said. Patrick Wojahn had served as the mayor of College Park for about eight years before his resignation and arrest in March. Wojahn pleaded guilty to 60 counts of distribution of child pornography, 40 counts of possession of child pornography, and 40 counts of possession of child pornography with the intention to distribute, according to a Wednesday news release from Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. “This is a horrific case,” said Aisha N. Braveboy, the state’s attorney for Prince George’s County. “As a former elected official, the College Park Community put its faith and support in him to serve each resident and their best interests,” Braveboy said Wednesday.
