Baltimore police officer, wife arrested for prostitution, human trafficking

Maryland State Police arrested a 31-year-old Baltimore City police officer and his 19-year-old wife on Thursday night on prostitution and human trafficking charges.

Taken into police custody were Lamin Manneh, 31, and Marissa Braun, 19, of Baltimore.

After consulting with the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney, Manneh was charged with human trafficking and prostitution. Braun was charged with one count of prostitution.

Both suspects have been taken to Glen Burnie for an initial court appearance.

On Thursday, the Maryland State Police Child Recovery Unit was working a child prostitution/human trafficking operation when they spotted a young-looking female posting on an internet “escort” website.

Members of the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, working along with Child Recovery Unit, arranged to meet the female in a Baltimore-area hotel where Braun was subsequently identified.

Police say Braun told officers she had been working for Manneh. Troopers say they found Manneh in the hotel parking lot.

Manneh has been suspended from the police department without pay.
