From the Havre de Grace Police Department:
On 08/16/18 Havre de Grace Officers were dispatched to the 500 block of Congress Ave. Havre de Grace, Maryland 21078, for a report to check on a female juvenile runaway. Upon arrival, contact was made with the juvenile who advised that a 27-year-old male along with his mother lived at the above residence.
The juvenile was interviewed at the Harford County Child Advocacy Center. During the interview, the juvenile disclosed to having consensual sex on multiple occasions with the male. The 27-year-old suspect identified as Matthew Lee Pinder of the 500 block of Congress Avenue
On 06/21/19, Pinder was indicted by the Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office in front of the Harford County Grand Jury. At that time an arrest warrant was issued on Pinder for multiple counts of Second Degree Rape.
On 06/24/19, Pinder was taken into custody at the Havre de Grace Police Department without any incidents. He was transported to the Harford County Detention Center for an initial appearance on the above charges.
After a bail review, Pinder was released from custody pending a trial.
“During the interview, the juvenile disclosed to having consensual sex on multiple occasions with the male.”
This is the female runaway mind you. Any bets they were Girlfriend and Boyfriend?
What did I miss? The SAO waits almost a year later to suddenly indict the guy? How much more incompetent can the SAO act? Seriously? Nothing surprises me anymore in Harford County.
Albert is as bad as Cassilly was. The whole system is completely ludicrous and inept.
Investigating this crime whether it was consensual or not takes time. Anyone under the age of 16 can not give consent so at the least it will be statutory rape
Statutory rape is nonsense in that a person can not give consent under the age of 16. As the article says, “having consensual sex on multiple occasions with the male”. If that isn’t an admission to giving consent then I don’t know what to tell you. The statute should not be called “statutory rape” and should be worded as “sex with an underage participant”. It is NOT rape if you have gained consent, it is illegal acts of sexual activity with a minor. If you force a person to have sex or coerce or extort them, then that should be called rape….It is time to change the wording of the law so that reasonable people can make reasonable judgements about what the Maryland Mafia calls crimes.
Read the law…..You don’t like it, talk to a legislator. They are right to charge him as stated.
All crimes are commercial (see 27 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 72.11), and all law is contract; therefore, any refusal is legal based upon Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C. 3-501 and U.C.C. 3-505), which warrants refusal of instruments which are non-bona fide or fraudulent in nature. There is no such thing as a law by statute and every conviction gained by statutory contract is in fact an act of treason. Show me the Constitutional Authority that grants the State this power and I’ll agree with you. However, there is none and there will never be any as long as the current Maryland Constitution is in force. The Annotated Code and all its agencies are in fact instruments of treason when used to govern the behavior of WE THE PEOPLE which they have no authority to do….
Well, Soul Crusher, when you link the annotated code with treason you expose yourself to an exaggerated point of view on the extreme side of which I do not choose to debate with you. Apparently, your issue needs to be resolved in the Federal Court or with a constitutional amendment (in your view).
Whatever, if you can’t see the treason in the Annotated Code you have become brainwashed and blind. The Code is completely unconstitutional and if you read it you would understand that. You can’t have statute that is unconstitutional and not believe that your government isn’t treasonous. It is treason just to create unconstitutional law. To think otherwise is unreasonable….
One last thing “Hunter”. There are already Constitutional Amendments that are supposed to protect the public from the treason of the corporate governments. The corporate government ignores the Constitution and the will of the people and has become a Mafia. If you want to see a law breaker all you got to do is look at any agency of the State and its employees. The Constitution is the SUPREME LAW OF THIS LAND. When any State actor violates the Constitution they are not just committing an unconstitutional act, they are committing treason by warring against the principles and the people of our Country. There is no forgiveness. We will not forget their treason. When the State of Maryland authorized the use of Administrative Warrants on homes for criminal purposes, the State of Maryland became a complete and utter Mafia. I regard ALL members of the Judicial Department as traitors and enemy combatants in an illegal war they have declared against their own damn people. You don’t have to like what I’m saying, but you can not deny the truth. The State of Maryland is treason and it must be reformed or destroyed in its entirety. That’s just the way it is and if the government doesn’t like it, the government can go to hell.
Some times incidents of this nature can in my opinion be unfortunate for both the victim and the alleged offender. I recall an incident during my police career where a 23 year old Afghanistan war veteran attended a party which he was invited to. At the party was what turned out to be a very mature well developed 15 year old girl who the soldier began talking with. He thought that all attendees were adults including the young girl. The girl asked the man to go outside. They ended up in his car where she performed an oral sex act on the man. She then removed a condom from her purse, and put it on the man and they subsequently had sex. The girls mother came out and witnessed the activity. She was most upset because her daughter was white and the soldier was a black man. The police became involved and the soldier ended up being convicted and sentenced to serve 4 years. During the investigation the girl stated the act was consensual. People who attended the party who were interviewed thought the girl was an adult. I thought the incident was unfortunate for all involved. I am not in any way condoning the behavior but in this case there were several extenuating circumstances. For the record I feel that if a person who engages in sexual activity with a victim who is unmistakably a child should be incarcerated for life.
If the girl looks like she’s 12 years old then I am going to have to agree with you. I don’t find children sexually attractive so it’s hard for me to follow the mind set of grown men picking up on little girls. That being said, it would be a lie for me to say that I have never seen an underage girl that I thought was sexually attractive. With that being said, if someone rapes a child, not a young woman, I believe they should be castrated. I don’t care if it was with a little boy or a little girl, if you rape a CHILD you should have your stuff removed. Mind you that when I say child, I am agreeing with you in the fact that they are an undeveloped child and not a borderline young woman. There is a distinct difference between the two. I don’t think raping a woman is OK either. Rape in any form is intolerable and a rapist should have a bad day. A baby raper should have a bad life with no Johnson to play with it. They forfeited that here Johnson….
The really unfortunate piece of this is the Defendant is up against an incompetence in the Harford County States Attorneys Office. The same Cassilly convict and jail everyone because everyone is guilty policies continue with absolutely NO ACCOUNTABILITY. 11 Months after the alleged event and suddenly they bring charges? Even after this girl stated it was consensual. Not once it appears but 20 times if one is to believe the charges filed.
The unfortunate piece is this defendant like many others will get railroaded by the Harford County Scum Bags with no protection to his rights. The SAO has an ethical responsibility to properly investigate before they bring charges. Anyone want to bet they have not done a dam thing to look into it? The new SA is turning out to be the same dirt bag Cassilly was. Just a different set of actors in that office. The Harford County SAO needs to be investigated by the State.
Well, when the Judges are all former prosecutors (Eaves and Bowen) treason runs rampant. They will do anything to cover up the treason committed by them and their friends. Look, the bottom line is the Harford County Judicial Department is a bona fide racketeering organization and every person employed by the Judicial Department is a traitor. There is no denying this. There is no due process and the only “remedy” they want to allow is a reconsideration hearing which erases their treason from the record of the court. They have basically legalized treason and every member of the Maryland Judicial Department is carrying it out. There is no Constitutional Authority to regulate the behavior of WE THE PEOPLE by the Federal government, yet the State is carrying out the statute of the Federal government that do just that on the authority of a series of treaties made with the UN and instituted by a yearly bribe known as Federal Funding. ALL TREATIES MUST CONFORM WITH THE CONSTITUTION. Without any Constitutional Authority there is no jurisdiction. Without jurisdiction there is only fraud and treason. Every Judge is a complete traitor and they should at least be given the minimum sentence of 5 years, the $10,000 fine and never be allowed a governmental position again. You can’t have the disease known as Angela Eaves administering a Circuit Court. You can’t have a fat hog like Bowen committing treason like its the law or something. Statutes are NOT law. They are the prima facia evidence of law and are in fact nothing but the rules of government employees. Quite frankly, if they are going to hold us accountable to the Codes, Rules and Regulations of government employees then they need to be held accountable to the Constitution and all taxation must be forfeit until they give up their ways of legalese treason…..
Takes time…..You got to be kidding me…..11 months? Your brainwashed. This is typical behavior of incompetence in the States Attorneys Office. This is purposeful don’t kid yourself. The sad piece is nothing has changed in that office since the new SA was elected. Same old Bullshit just a different day.
Actually you’re wrong the consent age is 14
In Maryland, the age of consent is 16 years old. Obviously, this means that individuals aged 15 or younger in Maryland are not legally able to consent to sexual activity and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape and other charges.
This one can be cell mates with the douche bag charged with Felony Theft. Looks like that POS will be going to trial.
Who dat? What POS?
Fat Ass aka as Capt Dickbag……
Aka EK…
I have dealt with this situation many times, whereas Grown Men have violated my minor daughter, Yes 16 is the age of consent and they will not do anything, so then it is referred to crimes against children, I also contacted the SAO and they could not do anything, very sad situation, these scum bags hang around the schools.
Damn, sounds like your daughter is just a dirty little slut. You said MANY TIMES! How many?
Did your daughter have any responsibility whatsoever? It takes two to have consensual sex. Bad decisions by an out of control daughter doesn’t mean you prosecute people for it.
Good God…so the little girl is now responsible for the mans actions? Simply Third Worldish I say!
The “little girl” does have responsibility. She stated she had consensual sex with the man. That requires both to consent.
Who is she? Does she scream during the event?
He looks like a Trump supporter
Surely you must be kidding with that comment with all the Democrta Sex scandals!. .https://www.ranker.com/list/democrat-sex-scandals/web-infoguy
What is it about republicans and their interest in other mens sexual activities? It’s ok if you’re gay Bill we understand
So in this case, the mother was a piece of walking garbage who didn’t Stand up and take responsibility for her slut daughter’s actions.
Even though there were weeks worth of evidence in texts proving the daughter out-right lied about her age, her living situation and to everyone about her true intentions and age as well.
For a guy who had a clean record, was told by a sex abuse treatment center that he was a non-repeat offender and had a good job..
He was given 18 months in jail and as to register as a sex offender the rest of his life.
The mother had the audacity to walk out of the court room fake crying about her bills and severance with her newborn baby on her shoulder.
Playing the “My life and family are ruined because this young man”
Your daughter used an Adult Dating App, lied about her age and proceeded to message older men. The mother had a GPS tracker on her daughter’s phone that led her to the man’s house.
The daughter was gone for 8 days at a time and was never contacted during that time.
When the young man found out about the girls age, he immediately stopped talking to her and the family and contacted the police department.
The SAO screwed this man for life.
A guy who only does good for others, works hard and volunteers.
Never 1 criminal charge in his life, and now he will be labeled as a sex offender.
What about the daughter?
Well she’s doing just fine, not punished. The only person the justice system screwed was this man.
Karma is gonna come for you. You white trash piece of shit
