The Democrat Mayor of College Park, Maryland resigned just one day before being arrested on 56 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography.

The disgraced mayor 47 year old Patrick Wojahn is charged with 40 counts of possession of child exploitative material and 16 counts of distribution of child exploitative material.

The Prince George’s County police department arrested Wojahn soon after they discovered he was allegedly operating a social media account distributing pornography.

The GWP reports: Prior to his arrest, Wojahn had friendships with high-profile Democrats including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Washington Blade in 2019 reported, “Pete Buttigieg has mentored Patrick Wojahn over the years.”

Local College Park news outlet the Diamond Back would go further and reported Patrick Wojahn received important advice from Buttigieg and the two even went out for beers once in Riverdale, Maryland.

Several pictures of Buttigieg and Wojahn were discovered on Wojahn’s social media pages.

Per Diamond Back:

When College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn attended his first United States Conference of Mayors in January 2016, he received advice from another mayor: Pete Buttigieg.

Buttigieg gave advice on how to incorporate a university into city politics, since both cities are college towns. Wojahn also sought advice on how a city with different ideas and neighborhoods could “come together on a common vision and common plan” — a challenge for him when he started as mayor.

Wojahn and Buttigieg have kept in touch over the past few years. When Buttigieg held a July campaign event in Riverdale, Maryland, the two went out for beers.

Besides rubbing elbows with Buttigeg, the disgraced mayor was also invited to the White House alongside his husband.
