The Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office posted an announcement: A 53-year-old man who raped a 15-year-old will serve 30 years in prison.
On September 1, 2023, at approximately 1:00 p.m., the Prince William County Police Department began investigating the report of an intoxicated fifteen-year-old missing juvenile. At approximately 3:00 p, m., the juvenile was located in the bathroom at the train station in Manassas City, Virginia, in an incoherent state. Mr. Brown was located later that afternoon, through GPS tracking of the juvenile’s cell phone, and was in possession of the cell phone. Mr. Brown initially told law enforcement he had located the juvenile on the fourth floor of the parking garage adjacent to the train station, clearly intoxicated, and asking for assistance. Further investigation by the Manassas City Police Department revealed that the juvenile had been sexually assaulted in the parking garage by Mr. Brown. When confronted with the video footage, Mr. Brown admitted to picking the fifteen-year-old up near Nokesville Road in Prince William County, Virginia, before driving her to the parking garage in downtown Manassas City, Virginia, but denied assaulting her. Additional DNA evidence presented at trial supported the juvenile’s report of sexual assault by Mr. Brown.
