David Emile Guillemette 
A Great Mills man was jailed Friday after he pleaded guilty to a third-degree sexual offense committed at his home last winter, an arrest that ended his work as a substitute teacher in St. Mary’s elementary schools. David Emile Guillemette, now 55, was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended to an 18-month jail sentence and four years of supervised probation. ‘‘He has to register as a sex offender,” St. Mary’s Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Stanalonis said this week at his office in Leonardtown. A 15-year-old girl visiting Guillemette’s family was sitting on a couch with him watching television on New Year’s Day when he put his hands inside the girl’s clothing and fondled her, according to charging papers filed by detective Thomas Hedderich of the St. Mary’s Bureau of Criminal Investigations. The visitor asked Guillemette to stop his actions, and pushed him away before running upstairs. Ex-substitute teacher jailed for sex offense (08/27/08)
Joseph S. Ellis 
A judge has denied a request by Joseph Samuel Ellis, the former Glenelg High School teacher convicted in January of sexually abusing a student, to have his sentence reviewed and possibly modified. In a motion filed with the Howard County Circuit Court on July 24, Ellis' attorney, Andrew Levy, requested that the court hold a hearing one year after Ellis' conviction to allow Ellis "to make a showing as to his rehabilitation and why and how his sentence should be modified." According to the motion, Ellis is currently in group therapy and tutors his fellow inmates who are working toward their GEDs. Howard County Circuit Court Judge Richard Bernhardt denied Ellis' request Aug. 4. On Jan. 9, a Howard County jury found Ellis, 27, of Elkridge, guilty of sexual abuse of a minor, indecent exposure and telephone misuse. Ellis recently filed an appeal with the Court of Special Appeals to rescind the verdict. Hearing dates have not yet been set for the appeal. Jail sentence review denied for ex-teacher (08/14/08)
Aaron Burroughs
Burroughs was sentenced on three counts of sexual offense, one count of coersion and one count of sexual trafficking of a minor. Burroughs was arrested August 2006 after a 15-year-old female, found performing a sex act with a man in Takoma Park earlier that night, named him as her pimp. While in custody, Burroughs admitted to Washington, D.C. police he had engaged in sex with her on two occasions and had brought the girl into D.C. on several occasions to work as a prostitute on the Rhode Island Avenue "track," where prostitution is commonplace.
