Additional information from the Wicomico County State’s Attorney:
Meja-Domingo was convicted in the Circuit Court for Wicomico County last week of Attempted Kidnapping of a Child Under the Age of Sixteen following an Alford plea in which Domingo conceded
the State had sufficient evidence to prove his guilt.
According to court records, on May 14, 2022, the young victim鈥檚 family was celebrating a birthday with several neighbors. Meja-Domingo and his family were in attendance. At approximately ten o鈥檆lock in the evening, the victim鈥檚 mother placed the sleeping two-year-old child in bed. At the time she did so, the bedroom window next to the bed was closed. Approximately five minutes later, the victim鈥檚 mother returned to the room to put items away and observed Meja-Domingo reaching into her child鈥檚 now opened window, pulling the child by the leg towards the opening. The victim鈥檚 mother screamed and Meja-Domingo ran away.
