Deputies said Forand allegedly traveled to Covington to meet a child under the age of 15. It was revealed that he allegedly planned to bring the minor back to Maryland to become a “daughter-wife,” which is a middle-aged or older man determined to be in a relationship with a considerably younger girl.

However, when Forand arrived in Covington he was arrested.
