08.05.2006 - WASHINGTON -- A Capitol police officer has now been tied to the case of a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly prostituted by a former volunteer assistant junior varsity football coach.
Sources told News4 Friday that the teen was videotaped having sex in the Charles County home of a Capitol police officer. The source also said that the officer had sex with the girl in a car near the Capitol building.
News4 reported Friday that the law enforcement officer's car was taken and his home was searched for evidence.
Officer Arron Jahimal Burroughs, 35, of Crofton allegedly sexually abused the teen and then began transporting her from Maryland to the District so that she could engage in acts of prostitution.
According to court documents, Burroughs was arrested Monday after a Takoma Park police officer found the girl and another man having oral sex.
Burroughs had rented a room for the girl to use with customers at the Budget Inn on New York Ave. in D.C. But, she was picked up by a man in the car, who paid her $150, the documents said.
Authorities said the girl told police she was a prostitute and that Burroughs was her pimp.
The teen also allegedly told police that she had been working for and having sex with Burroughs since she was 14.
Investigators then had the girl call Burroughs and ask him to come pick her up from the Budget Inn. When he arrived, police arrested him.
Sources also told News4 Friday that in June, Burroughs left the girl in Staunton, Va., with a group of men who were recently released from jail and the teen later called relatives to pick her up.
Sources also said that Burroughs gave discounts to friends and family.
According to court documents, Burroughs also took several "nude, sexually graphic pictures" of the girl on his cell phone camera.
So far, only Burroughs has been charged in the case. Burroughs is being held without bond. He is expected back in court on Aug. 16.
Burroughs was volunteer assistant junior varsity football coach at Bowie High School for three years. The 15-year-old girl was a student there at the time.
Burroughs also worked as a bus driver and allegedly admitted to police that he also sold marijuana.
