Montgomery Co. man arrested at Dulles on felony child molestation charges

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a Montgomery County, Maryland, man at Dulles International Airport on felony child molestation charges.

Giovanni Di Angelo Reumante, 31, of Takoma Park, was arrested Tuesday after arriving on a flight from the Dominican Republic. He was wanted by Montgomery County police.

Montgomery County Police said Reumante is suspected of sexually assaulting a former student at Northwood High School. Reumante had been a track coach since 2013, police said, and the now-adult victim was on the track team.

Officials said in a statement Thursday that, during the course of their investigation into Reumante, they found that he “allegedly engaged in sexual contact with at least one student during and after school hours.”

Police said they are concerned Reumante might have targeted additional students, and encouraged anyone with additional information to contact Montgomery County Police Special Victims Investigations Division at 240-773-5400.

Reumante’s arrest is one of two by CBP officers in one week for felony child sex assault and molestation charges, a CBP news release said.

On Dec. 24, CBP officers at Dulles arrested Sir Chuku Maurice Ngare, 44, of Georgia, at the departure gate for a flight to Germany. There had been a warrant on Ngare requested by the Cobb County, Georgia, sheriff’s office filed on Nov. 24.

The men have been turned over to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police to initiate extradition proceedings.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
