Julian Everett |
This
morning, Prince George’s County Police detectives arrested and charged a New
Carrollton man who is linked to three sexual assaults. He is 35-year-old Julian
Everett of the 6000 block of Westbrook Drive. Two of the three victims were
students at Howard University at the time of their attacks in 2015 and 2016.
The third sexual assault took place in 2005. Investigators are concerned there
may be additional victims.
The
first victim tells investigators that in August of 2016, when she was 17 years
old, the suspect contacted her through a unofficial Facebook group for incoming
freshmen at the university. The suspect picked up the victim at her dorm and
brought her to his barbershop on U Street in Northwest Washington, DC. The
suspect provided the victim alcohol which the victim says caused her to become
ill and to lose consciousness. When she woke up, she says the suspect was
sexually assaulting her at his New Carrollton home. He later took her back to
her dorm.
A
second victim tells investigators that in August of 2015, when she was 18 years
old and a Howard University student, she met the suspect at a party and agreed
to go out with him the following evening. The suspect picked up the victim from
her dorm and also provided her alcohol. She too says she began to lose
consciousness and was taken without permission to the suspect’s home in New
Carrollton. The victim says she was sexually assaulted there before being
driven her back to the university.
Their two cases were brought to light after
an anonymous letter was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department in March of
2018. MPD investigators reached out to the victims to gather information and
also reached out the PGPD investigators. The PGPD opened an investigation into
the suspect. During the investigation, detectives reviewed a 2005 case
involving Everett. In that case, a then 16-year-old girl says the suspect
sexually assaulted her at his home. In that instance, the victim also says she
was supplied with alcohol before the sexual assault. When the suspect drove the
victim back to her Virginia home, the suspect physically assaulted the victim
in his car. He was charged by authorities in Virginia in connection with that
assault.
Everett
is now charged with multiple charges in connection with all three sexual
assaults.
The
Prince George’s County Police Department and the Prince George’s County State’s
Attorney’s Office are working in partnership with officials at Howard
University. The university is fully cooperating and urges anyone who may have
experienced a sexual assault, regardless of when, to contact the Prince
George’s County Police Department. The Prince George’s County Police Department
established a tip line regarding this suspect. If anyone has information on
Julian Everett, they are asked to call 301-772-4915.
