A Maryland judge committed suicide just as federal law enforcement showed up at his home Friday morning to arrest him on child porn charges.
A Caroline County Circuit Court judge, Jonathan Newell, was found dead in his home shortly before 6:45 am by federal agents. He had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The FBI had shown up shortly after 6 am demanding that Newell came out of his home when neighbors claimed they heard a gunshot go off.

Federal agents had gone to Newell’s home to arrest him for sexual exploitation of a child. He had allegedly filmed boys naked at his cabin. Newell had been on leave since July when one of the boys he had taken to the cabin discovered a camera in the bathroom and called his parents. At least two boys claimed that Newell had checked them for ticks while they were naked.

“One stated that he moved his own genitalia for Newell to look for ticks, and the other initially did not recall if Newell touched his genitalia, but later stated that Newell once or twice moved the minor’s genitalia to look for ticks,” FBI Special Agent Rachel Corn
Newell’s home, truck, and law office were raided by law enforcement. They discovered a hard drive in his den that contained many videos of young men showering naked. In one of the videos, you can see Newell setting up the camera, and another video captures him checking a naked boy for ticks. Newell denied setting up the camera.
At one point during the search, he was caught chewing up and swallowing a memory card. He was taken to the hospital for a CT scan which showed a foreign object in his body.
“The investigator heard a loud, distinguishable, ‘crunch,’ sound from the area of Newell’s mouth. After another minute or two, the investigator heard the same ‘crunch’ again from Newell’s mouth, followed by Newell immediately reaching for and drinking from a cup located on his dresser.” – documentation from FBI.
The Maryland State Police will lead the investigation into the suicide.

NO DOUBT A DEMOCRAT
Nope.
He was a registered REPUBLICAN
That could explain why he killed himself he didnt want to go to jail where as if he was a democrat he would have been promoted
If he hadn’t committed suicide, he would have had a very bright future in the Democrat Party.
Oh well, he can still vote!
Doubtful, since he was a REPUBLICAN!!
And, so what? Nasty people are on both sides of the aisle.
Gov. Larry Hogan appointed Newell and Hogan is as RINO as it gets.
Hogan’s ideology is way more Democrat than Republican so it follows he would appoint other RINO’s to office. Republicans in name only are just as bad as any Democrat.
He was elected by the voters in my county. I didn’t vote for him, however.
Worse.
The dead vote 100% Democrat regardless of previous party affiliation.
A lot of registered Republicans aren’t really Republican. Just another RINO, democrat plant.
When did the FBI start doing local police work? Sounds like a Seth Rich story, where the evidence of a “local crime” was investigated by the FBI but it took 4 years to find out they were there, and on record. They denied the investigation and the story got buried. Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Since forever ago. The FBI managed crime where ever, when ever it wanted. This will change.
Well lam not sorry for him at all but there’s another soul going to hell for his sins. He’s now what you call a coward and he got what was coming to him! . We will see a lot of these democrats and republicans who have done the same thing will do what he did be a. Coward.. it’s a shame these evil people would rather commit suicide than to face their charges!! All I can say is adios amigos!!!!!
They are going to Hell anyway so saving the taxpayers a bit of money is their last decent act.
Good. Could this be the beginning of suicide week? Hope springs eternal.
Hoping for ever more “FBI Involved Suicides” ? I’m sure they will happilly oblige.
Look on the bright side. He saved the taxpayers a bundle. On top of that, some Soros-financed judge cannot turn him loose.
A Hollywood pedophile connected to child trafficking ring (for decades) suggested that pedos were EVERYWHERE. This is what happens when the weeds aren’t taken care of (for decades). MASSIVE FIRE to contend with !!
One less controlled judge. Good riddance !!
So, that’s how DemonRATS have been getting them ALL to behave like good little pedos.
