<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WALDORF, MD. &#8212; Charles County Sheriff’s detectives are continuing their investigation of Carlos Bell, a former instructional assistant at a local middle school, who was charged with the production of child pornography and assault of several middle-school aged children. Investigators have learned additional details regarding Bell’s involvement with youth:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the fall of 2008, Carlos Deangelo Bell, of 3533 Jonathan Court, Waldorf, Md., worked as a facility attendant with the Charles County Department of Community Services.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the fall of 2015, Bell worked for AlphaBest, a Charles County government contractor, which provided before and after school care at J.P. Ryon Elementary School and William B. Wade Elementary School.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the spring of 2016, Bell volunteered as an assistant coach for a track club, Comets, located in Waldorf. The athletes ranged in age from 15-18 years old.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In addition, detectives received information Bell may have coached or assisted coaching a variety of sports throughout the region.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Charles County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone whose children may have been coached by Bell to talk with his or her children regarding this matter. If evidence of wrongdoing is suspected, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI. While the CCSO is the primary investigative agency, the FBI established this tip line to assist in the investigation and to help streamline information.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The CCSO is working non-stop with the Charles County Public Schools, Charles County State’s Attorney’s Office, Charles County Health Department and Charles County Government on this investigation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Charles County Crime Solvers offers rewards of up to $1,000 for information that leads to the arrest or indictment of a person responsible for a crime in Charles County.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bell was charged in Charles County Circuit Court by a Grand Jury Indictment on June 30, 2017, with five criminal counts of child porn and assault. Bell is represented by attorney James Crawford, of Baltimore, Md.</span></p>
