Police Arrest Glen Burnie Man Accused of Sexually Abusing a Boy

Anne Arundel County Police arrested a Glen Burnie man Wednesday after police say he was caught performing a sex act on a boy earlier this month.

Kurt Melvin Singleton, 52, was charged with sexual abuse of a minor, second-degree sex offense, three counts of third-degree sex offense, three counts of fourth degree sex offense, three counts of second-degree assault and perverted practice, police said.

According to a press release, police said they were informed that a witness walked in on Singleton allegedly performing a sex act upon a boy on Dec. 1. The witness said that both she and Singleton know the boy, police said.

Singleton is being held at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond.

Police ask that anyone with additional information to contact Detective Vincent Carbonaro of the Criminal Investigation Division’s Child Abuse Unit at 410-222-3484.
