From MPD:
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Sexual Assault Unit announced that an arrest has been made in regard to a series of sexual assaults that occurred in the area of Dupont Circle Northwest. Two of the assaults occurred in the 1200 block of Connecticut Avenue. One assault occurred in the 1900 block of Q Street and the fourth assault occurred at 16th and U Streets. These assaults occurred during the first two weeks of August 2012, and involved a suspect who approached unsuspecting women, touched them in an unlawful manner, and quickly fled.
An investigation by members of the Sexual Assault Unit, along with the assistance of Second District patrol officers, led to the identity of the suspect. Subsequently, an arrest warrant was obtained.
On Thursday, August 23, 2012, at approximately 5:00 pm, members from Sexual Assault Unit arrested 30 year-old Oscar Mauricio Carnejo-Pena Northwest, DC, pursuant to the arrest warrant and charged him with four counts of Misdemeanor Sexual Abuse.
The investigation will continue as detectives try to determine if the suspect is responsible for any additional assaults that have occurred.
“With these types of assaults on the rise, it is good to get this suspect off the streets,” said Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier. “Women should be able to walk freely without being violated.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
