In the early afternoon of May 19, the Baltimore County Police Department learned that there was a 16-year-old girl advertising prostitution on the Internet. An undercover officer contacted the girl and set up a meeting at a Baltimore County motel. When officers arrived at the motel, they located the girl.

Further investigation indicated that Osikomaiya was her pimp. He was taken into custody as he returned to the motel.

Detectives learned that Osikomaiya was employed as a teacher in Baltimore City. The victim was not one of his students.

The 16-year-old girl in this case is considered a victim and police do not have any plans to charge her at this time.

The case remains under investigation by the Baltimore County Police Vice Unit, working together with the Maryland Child Exploitation Task Force.
