In a recent sentencing at Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, Adam Sandow, a 43-year-old Glen Burnie resident, was given a four-year prison term for flashing members of the Severna Park High School girls track team. As reported by the State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess, Sandow pleaded guilty to all eight charges of Indecent Exposure, facing a potential 24 years behind bars but with the sentence largely suspended.

An unsettling incident last May brought Sandow to justice after he displayed himself to eight high school athletes while they were stopped at a local intersection. According to a Press Release by the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office, the girls reported the man was in a state of undress and engaged in lewd behavior as they waited for the traffic signal. A witness's quick thinking to record the perpetrator's vehicle ultimately led to his identification and arrest.

During the sentencing, State's Attorney Leitess highlighted the disturbing pattern in Sandow's behavior, citing a history of similar offenses. "Our children deserve to feel safe from predators in their community, especially while enjoying school activities with their friends," Leitess said, as per Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office. Sandow's sentence goes beyond prison time; upon release, he will be under a five-year supervised probation and barred from any contact with minors that are not family members.
