Sex Offender, Teen Pose as Father and Son to Repeatedly Rape Girl: Police

A Laurel girl was repeatedly raped by a convicted sex offender and a 19-year-old who posed as father and son, according to police.

A convicted sex offender and his accused teenage accomplice posed as a father and son online to meet a 14-year-old Laurel girl and then repeatedly rape her, authorities say.

Orlando Roberts, 45, of Washington, D.C., is a convicted sex offender, who police say worked with Javon Henson, 19, of District Heights, MD, reports WJLA TV. The pair allegedly contacted the Laurel girl on Instagram and then spoke to her on the phone.

When the victim said she would have to ask her mother for permission to hang out, Roberts identified himself as Henson’s father and offered to lie to the mother because his “son” was 19 years old, the TV station says.
