Montgomery County police took action after a child was solicited for sexual activity in Wheaton early Tuesday afternoon, March 3, 2026. The incident occurred in the 11100 block of Veirs Mill Road at 1:02 PM Tuesday. It happened at Westfield's Wheaton Plaza mall. Another shocking crime taking place during daylight hours.
Police were in the mall's security command center when they noticed two males engaged in a dispute on one of the mall's security cameras. When officers went to that location near a set of public restrooms to speak to the pair, the 16-year-old male victim told them the 58-year-old man had just solicited him. Officers took the 58-year-old, Miguel Angel Torres-Manzanerez of Capitol Heights, into custody. He has been charged with one count of sexual solicitation of a minor.
Torres-Manzanerez is being held at the County jail without bond. Officers believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward and are asking anyone with information to call the 4th District station at 240-773-5500.
