The FBI Washington Field Office’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force (CEHTTF) arrested Devonne Keith Brown, 56, of Washington, D.C., on June 2, 2025, on child sexual abuse material (CSAM) charges. Brown was employed at a school in northeast Washington, D.C., and may have been involved in a youth track club in the district.
As outlined in court documents, Brown allegedly solicited the production of CSAM from a female minor in Prince George’s County, Maryland, he allegedly met in person at a grocery store near the victim’s home.
“Those who prey on minors to solicit the production of CSAM are morally reprehensible and will be held accountable for their heinous crimes,” said Steven Jensen, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office. “The FBI remains committed to protecting our children and ridding our communities of this grievous scourge.”
