Northwest Baltimore Man Faces Child Sex Abuse Allegations

A northwest Baltimore man was arrested Monday for alleged child sex abuse, police say.

Joseph Goldman, 35, was arrested at 8:15 a.m. at his home in the 3500 block of Taney Road. Police say they seized suspected marijuana, two handguns, one shotgun with an altered barrel, one rifle and a homemade silencer.

Police say the victim told someone in October about the behavior which occurred over several years. That person then called police.

Goldman remains held without bail at Central Booking on charges including first- and second-degree rape, third- and fourth-degree sex offense and first- and second-degree assault. Police haven't yet charged Goldman in relation to the weapons found at his residence, and say investigation into those firearms will continue.
