ELKTON, Md. — An Elkton man faces a slew of charges after allegedly trying to lure a 14-year-old girl from school.

The Cecil County Sheriff's Office began investigating on February 28, after the teen reported the man for trespassing at North East High School.

She told detectives about conversations she had with the suspect on social media.

The student only knew the man by his "Rambo" screen name.

"Rambo" reportedly told the girl at one point that he would show up to her school so she could leave with him.

One day Rambo took a taxi to the school and notified the teen he was there.

The student told police she got scared and decided not to go with him.

Video footage showed "Rambo" walking near some portable classrooms, before leaving in the taxi.

Investigators soon found out "Rambo" had a gun with him while on school property.
 
As detectives uncovered more information they learned "Rambo" had a sexual relationship with the girl dating back to 2021. "Rambo" lied and told the victim he was 17 at the time when really he was 22, according to the Cecil County Sheriff's Office.

Charging documents mention a time in 2022 when the victim asked "Rambo" to buy food for her and a friend, who was also a juvenile.

"Rambo" allegedly told the friend he would buy them food if he could have alone time with the victim.

Police ultimately identified “Rambo” as 24-year-old Judah Jediah Stubbs.

They finally arrested him on March 30 while investigating a disturbance call on Willow Court.

Police seized Stubbs' cell phones during a search and seizure warrant, leading to multiple charges.
 
Those charges include two counts each of second degree rape, prostitution under 16, and sexual solicitation of a minor.

Stubbs remains held without bail. Court records show he was previously convicted in 2017 of illegal gun possession.
