A Germantown tutor has been charged with the sexual abuse of a minor and faces additional accusations of fourth-degree sex offenses, as Montgomery County authorities confirmed; Adi Yousef Najjar, 65, is the accused individual in these serious allegations. Following a report received by the Montgomery County Child Welfare Services and the Special Victims Investigations Division (SVID) of the local police, an investigation commenced on June 4, bringing to light a disturbing series of events that reportedly spanned a significant timeframe, from September 2022 through June 2024, during which Najjar served as an Islamic tutor to the victim.
After Najjar presented himself at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit on August 21, he was released on an unsecured personal bond, further details surrounding his release have not been provided. The Montgomery County Police, in a move to ensure possible other victims are aware and might come forward, have disseminated Najjar's photograph and are earnestly requesting any individuals who might have experienced abuse at his hands to reach out, the police department issued a statement urging those with relevant experiences or information to contact SVID at (240) 773-5400 or to call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477).
According to the information released by the Montgomery County press portal, the unsettling nature of the allegations against Najjar has prompted investigators to openly consider the possibility of additional victims; despite Najjar's current charges, authorities maintain a determined focus on uncovering the full scope of his conduct to assess the extent of his predatory behavior and are continuously working to provide support to all affected parties.
