Police in Baltimore County have charged 54-year-old Edward Biedenkapp with child abuse and rape after a child came forward alleging abuse. A young girl came forward accusing Biedenkapp of raping her on multiple occasions more than 10 years ago.
Based on information gathered by members of the Baltimore County Crimes Against Children Unit, detectives have reason to believe more children may have been abused between the time span of 2007 and 2011.
It’s worth noting that children would have referred to Biedenkapp as “Mr. Eddie.”
Also noteworthy is that Biedenkapp’s wife ran Biedenkapp Daycare at the time. Edward Biedenkapp worked at the daycare affording him ease of access to the children under their care. That Daycare was located in the couple’s home located in the Perry Hall area, according to CBS News in Baltimore.
Police are asking any other of Biedenkapp’s victims to please come forward so that they can hold him accountable for his actions.
