FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. (WUSA9) -- Frederick County Council members are expected to hear arguments Tuesday night on a bill that those trying to repeal it say sends a message of intolerance.

The public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Winchester Hall in Downtown Frederick. It is on a bill that has been introduced to repeal a current, three-year-old ordinance that establishes English as the main language in Frederick County.

Before the public hearing, Democratic Councilmembers M.C. Keegan-Ayer and Jessica Fitzwater spoke about their co-sponsored repeal bill. The two said what sparked this were complaints, especially from major biotech and life science employers in the area.

"…that it was becoming increasingly harder to attract businesses and employees when we have this perception that we're not welcoming," said Fitzwater.

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA9) -- A man who watched a woman's dog while she went into a Frederick business demanded sexual favors in return.

The assault happened on June 11 when a woman asked a man she did not know in the area of 35 W. All Saints Street to watch her dog while she went inside of a business, according to police.

When she exited the business the man demanded sexual favors in return for watching her dog, Frederick police said. The man then followed the victim into an alley way where he grabbed her and asked for sexual favors again.

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - Court records show that a man accused of fatally beating a 9-year-old boy over a piece of missing birthday cake was charged in 2010 with abusing another child.

The charge of second-degree child abuse against Robert Leroy Wilson was dropped when he pleaded guilty to an assault charge. That conviction was eventually expunged as part of the deal.

The 2010 charge involved the daughter of a woman with whom Wilson lived in Frederick. That woman told The Associated Press on Thursday that she thought Wilson had changed after completing parenting and anger-management classes.
