Former Wicomico Co. Sheriff’s Deputy sentenced to life for rape, misconduct in office

SALISBURY, Md. –  A former Wicomico County Sheriff’s Deputy convicted of rape and misconduct in office has been sentenced by a Wicomico County judge.

33-year-old Steven Abreu was convicted late last year of first and second degree rape, third and fourth degree sexual offense, misconduct in office, false imprisonment, and unlawful sexual conduct by a law enforcement officer. He was sentenced on Thursday to life plus 30 years in prison.

In October 2022, a woman reported that Abreu had detained her in a parking lot and sexually assaulted her. Further investigation revealed additional crimes; in one case, Abreu offered a ride to a woman in his patrol car before sexually assaulting her, and in another, he returned to the home of a woman he had interacted with during a call for service earlier that day and, under the guise of providing her with a victim information pamphlet, sexually assaulted her. A fourth woman was reportedly stopped by Abreu while she was driving home, but was able to escape when a neighbor approached and asked if everything was okay.
