Prosecutors say a private school principal charged earlier this week with sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl in Kent County faces charges involving another girl in Queen Anne's County.
Don Scott reports Lowell Litten Jr., the principal at Eastern Shore Junior Academy, was arrested Monday on charges of sex abuse of a minor in Kent County and released later that day on $25,000 bond.
A warrant was issued Wednesday in Queen Anne's County charging the 39-year-old Sudlersville man with sexual abuse of a minor and second-degree sex offense in an incident involving a 13-year-old girl.
Maryland State Police had sought to take Litten into custody on the Queen Anne's County District Court warrant.
State's Attorney Lance Richardson had said he hopes Litten will be held without bond once he was rearrested.
Authorities tell WJZ that Litten turned himself in at the Centreville State Barrack around 1 p.m. Thursday once he learned of the new charges against him, and that he is being held at the Queen Anne County Detention Center.
