The charges stem from a complaint of sexual abuse which the victim originally reported to authorities in Calvert County, Maryland, in November of 2021. Further investigation revealed that the abuse had occurred over the course of several years and in multiple jurisdictions, including Ocean City. Redmon was the boyfriend of the victim’s mother at the time of the abuse in Ocean City and the victim was 15 years old, according to prosecutors.
