Man kidnapped teen girls, raped them at his Maryland home over span of years, feds say
A Maryland man’s predatory pattern of charming teenage girls, taking them to his home and then drugging and raping them while they were “incapacitated” has landed him a federal prison sentence, prosecutors said.
Julian Joel Lee Everett filmed some of the sexual assaults, which happened over the span of more than a decade, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland.
Now, a federal judge sentenced Everett, 41, of New Carrollton, to 20 years in prison on accusations of kidnapping minors and producing child sexual abuse material, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a Feb. 3 news release.
In a statement by a woman who was 17 when she was sexually assaulted by Everett, according to prosecutors, she wrote:
“At one point, I thought I only had to survive that night until I realized, this would be something I would be trying to survive forever. It was hard to accept that what you did was never really my fault.”
“I blamed myself for years for allowing myself to be the woman I am today. A survivor.”
Everett’s defense attorney didn’t immediately respond to McClatchy News’ request for comment.
A series of sexual assaults
Everett kidnapped and sexually assaulted minor teens and an 18-year-old on separate occasions in 2005, 2015 and 2016, according to prosecutors.
Some of the victims knew him as the owner of an “upscale, successful barbershop” in Washington, D.C., prosecutors wrote in court documents.
The first victim was 16 when Everett drove her from Virginia and across state lines to his home in New Carrollton in July 2005, prosecutors said.
He served her a drink, then raped her and took photos of her while she was naked, according to prosecutors.
About 10 years later, a pattern began to emerge, prosecutors said.
In August 2015, Everett drove an 18-year-old from a Washington, D.C., nightclub to a gas station, made her a drink and gave it to her, according to prosecutors.
Then, he drove her to his Maryland home and sexually assaulted her, prosecutors said.
A year later, Everett drove a 17-year-old from her Washington, D.C., home to his barbershop in the city, where he prepared and gave her a drink, according to prosecutors.
She started to feel sick and became unconscious, prosecutors wrote in court filings.
The teen gained consciousness inside Everett’s car, then “passed out again,” according to the government’s sentencing memorandum.
She awoke on a cold floor, naked, inside Everett’s house, prosecutors said.
Then she saw Everett was naked and realized he was carrying her to a bed, according to prosecutors.
“(She) lost consciousness and woke up to seeing Everett, still naked, moving his naked body on top of (her) naked body,” prosecutors said.
The teen reported she was unable fend off the sexual assault, according to prosecutors, who wrote in the sentencing memorandum that she later “found herself sitting in a shower, being bathed by Everett.”
Afterward, Everett drove her to her home in Washington, D.C., prosecutors said.
During the drive, she suspected Everett recorded the assault and grabbed his phone, according to prosecutors. She saw he had naked photos of her on his device, prosecutors said.
Everett was arrested in Prince George’s County in March 2019, leading federal investigators to search his devices and discover “images of child sexual abuse material,” including a video of Everett engaging in sex acts with a different female victim, who was unresponsive, according to prosecutors.
A few days later, another woman reported Everett raped her sometime between March and April 2015, prosecutors said.
She said she was 16 when Everett drove her from her Washington, D.C., home to his house in New Carrollton.
There, prosecutors said the woman reported Everett mixed a drink for her before she drank it and then felt lightheaded.
He sexually assaulted her, according to prosecutors, who said he filmed the assault and took photos of her while she was naked.
In the sentencing memorandum, prosecutors wrote that the victims’ “trauma was compounded by the realization that Mr. Everett had recorded the sexual assaults, repeatedly committing the additional offense of production of child pornography.”
In state court in June 2024, Everett pleaded guilty in connection with sexually assaulting four victims, including two students who attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., according to The Washington Post.
Everett’s federal prison sentence will be followed by 20 years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
In the victim impact statement written by one of the women, she wrote she forgives Everett, hopes he finds healing — and that he deserves what’s to come in his future.
“Because of you, I will forever fight for this woman I am today because of all she has and had to endure once you took my life away from me. I will forever fight for the safe spaces that could’ve prevented me from ever crossing paths with you,” her statement said.
“Even though the world may never acknowledge it, I stand here today to vocalize that one woman, is enough,” she wrote.
