Tyler Wang'Ombe-Gichuru
The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Child and Vulnerable Adult Abuse Unit (CVAA) charged a man with sexually assaulting two children whom he was teaching to swim. The suspect is 25-year-old Tyler Wang’Ombe-Gichuru of Silver Spring.
On July 22, 2025, a relative of the two victims contacted the Prince George’s County Police Department to report the suspect sexually assaulted the two children, both under the age of 10, during a swim lesson. The preliminary investigation revealed the victims’ family hired the suspect to provide the private swim lessons. The sexual assaults occurred at a community center in Upper Marlboro on July 22, 2025. The suspect is not an employee of the community center.
Wang’Ombe-Gichuru faces multiple charges to include two counts of second degree rape – child under 13, assault and multiple additional sexual offenses. He is currently in custody of the Department of Corrections on a no-bond status.
At this time, the suspect is only charged in connection with this case. During this investigation, CVAA detectives learned the suspect first met the victims’ family at a trampoline park in Laurel where the suspect works. This remains an active investigation.
CVAA detectives would like to speak to anyone with information on this suspect or who believes they may have been victimized by him in Prince George’s County. You may reach a CVAA detective by calling 301-772-4930.
