A 31-year-old Mardela Springs, Maryland man was sentenced to 35 years in prison by a Wicomico County judge for sexually abusing a minor and recording one of the acts.
said deputies responded to a home in Mardela Springs, Maryland, located on the Delmarva Peninsula, for reports of a rape on Jan. 23, 2023.
Detectives learned in a preliminary investigation that Joseph Norman Jr, 30, allegedly forced a juvenile to have oral sex with him multiple times. A further investigation into the charges against Norman discovered he photographed the juvenile during one of the sex acts, the sheriff’s office said at the time, and on Feb. 6, Norman was indicted by a Wicomico County grand jury on 32 charges."When a child is abused, offenders exact a devastating toll on the survivor, in both body and mind," Dykes said."This hurt is worsened when offenders memorialize the abuse.
Norman’s sentencing was held pending completion of a pre-sentence investigation and mental health assessment.
