Overview

• A Baltimore County jury in June found Carlos Arroyo guilty of one count of sexual abuse of a minor and two counts of second-degree assault.
• Judge Thomas R. Tompsett Jr. ordered a 40-year sentence with 20 years suspended, followed by five years of supervised probation and lifetime sex-offender registration.
• Court records state the assault occurred in Arroyo’s car at the Owings Mills Metro Station after he had been giving the student rides and buying her food.
• The defense asked for home detention, pointed to acquittals on other counts, and Arroyo apologized to the court and the victim.
• Baltimore County Public Schools hired Arroyo in 2022, placed him on leave after his 2024 arrest, and he is no longer employed by the district.
