Sheriff’s Office Employee and Fullerton Man Indicted on 2nd Degree Rape Charge


A Baltimore County Sheriff’s Office employee has been indicted by a Grand Jury on one count of second degree rape.

Baltimore County Police initiated an investigation after being notified of the allegation of a sexual assault on November 30, 2018. The investigation was conducted in consultation with the Office of the State’s Attorney for Carroll County after the Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore County recused itself from the case due to the close working relationship between both agencies.
The Grand Jury indictment is sealed, prohibiting details of the case from being released at this time.

A warrant was issued on Jan. 27, at which time the sheriff, identified as Morton Stanley Winkler Jr (54) of the 7700 block of Jennelles Way in Fullerton, was taken into custody. He was released on his own recognizance following a bail review hearing.

The Baltimore County Police Department encourages anyone who had inappropriate contact by Winkler to contact the BCoPD Special Victims Unit at 410-887-2223. We also encourage contacting any sexual assault hotline or advocacy group to seek support and victim resources.
