Annapolis, Maryland – A Glen Burnie man with a history of indecent exposures was sentenced to four years in prison Monday for exposing himself to members of the Severna Park High School girls track team at an intersection last spring, State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess announced.
Adam Sandow, 43, entered guilty pleas to all eight counts of Indecent Exposure in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court in Annapolis. He was sentenced to 24 years in prison, with all but four years suspended. Upon release, Sandow will be placed on five years of supervised probation, in which he is to have no contact with the victims or any minors, excluding family members. He will also be monitored under COMET, the state's sexual offender management program.
"The Defendant has a history of exposing himself to minors outside of schools and parks in our community and has been convicted of, and served time for these offenses," said Leitess. "He obviously learned nothing from these previous detainments and I am relieved he will serve a sentence at the Division of Correction.
"Our children deserve to feel safe from predators in their community, especially while enjoying school activities with their friends."
On May 3, 2024, eight members of the Severna Park High School girls track team were on a practice run when they stopped at the intersection of Jumpers Hole Road and Benfield Boulevard to wait for a traffic light. As the girls waited, a man, later identified as Adam Sandow, stopped his vehicle next to the group with his penis exposed and began to masturbate. The girls noted Sandow did not appear to be wearing any clothing from the waist down and they had a clear view of his genitals. They stated that Sandow was looking at them as he exposed himself and was in the turn lane and free to turn right, but remained stopped next to the girls as he committed the act.
The girls were disgusted by Sandow's behavior and reported the incident to their track coach and friends once he drove away.
A witness recorded Sandow's vehicle and provided registration information to police. The victims were shown a photograph of the vehicle and identified it as the car driven by the Defendant. A check of records showed the vehicle was registered to Sandow, who matched the suspect description.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant State's Attorney Sean Fox on behalf of the citizens of Anne Arundel County, with the Honorable Richard Trunnell presiding.
