Police have captured a youth who escaped Monday night from a privately run juvenile facility in Baltimore County -- and they say he escaped with the aid of a female counselor.
The counselor, 26-year-old Tyra Greenfield of White Marsh, has been charged with harboring and child sexual abuse. State police say Greenfield and the youth had sex after the escape.
Police say the juvenile was arrested Wednesday morning in Laurel, Del. He will be charged as a juvenile with escape. Although police had identified the youth previously as a 17-year-old, they are now withholding his name because he is the victim of an alleged sex crime.
The youth escaped from the Chesapeake Treatment Center on the campus of the former Charles H. Hickey School.
