Baltimore, Md. (July 16, 2025) - Today, the Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City announced that defendant Mustafa Pitts was found guilty by a jury of two counts of Sexual Abuse of a Minor. The defendant faces a total penalty of 55 years at sentencing on October 16, 2025. Assistant State’s Attorney Keera Gilbert prosecuted this case with the assistance of Victim Witness Coordinator Aida Alajbegovic.

“This case represents one of the most devastating breaches of trust imaginable—the exploitation and abuse of a child,” said State’s Attorney Ivan J. Bates. “My office will always seek justice and advocate for the most vulnerable victims in Baltimore. I am grateful to the jury for holding this heinous perpetrator accountable, and commend ASA Gilbert for her tireless work in securing justice for the victim and their family.”
