The offense took place in Frederick County between 2010 and 2014.The Frederick County Sheriffs’ Office began its investigation into this case in July, 2021 after receiving a report on offenses in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Sanders pleaded guilty in Pennsylvania to forcible rape, and three counts of corruption of a minor. He began serving his sentence of 13 to 25 years in Pennsylvania  before being brought to Maryland to face charges. Sanders pleaded guilty to one count of child sex abuse of a minor on July 31st, 2024..Circuit Court Judge Scott Rolle, who sentenced Sanders, ordered that the sentence in Maryland be served consecutive to the Pennsylvania sentence.
