THE CHRISTOPHER W. HOHENSTEIN Fraud Fighter of the Year Award
The Maryland Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Proudly Presents Maryland State Prosecutor with the 2010 Fraud Fighter of the Year Award
Mr. Rohrbaugh was appointed as State Prosecutor by Governor Ehrilch in 2004. As a State Prosecutor he was involved in the investigation of criminal offenses, including State election law violations, State public ethics law violations, State bribery law violations involving public officials or employees, and misconduct in office by public officials or employees, as well as other offenses. Most recently, he was involved in the prosecution of Baltimore City Mayor Sheila Dixon which led to her resignation as Mayor. Prior to serving as State Prosecutor, Mr. Rohbraugh worked in private practice in Rockville, where his areas of expertise include product liability cases of child restraints. He served as Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Maryland from 1974 to 1980. During that time he tried approximately 30 major felony cases, including the first major computer fraud prosecution in the country. In 1997, he took leave from a successful private practice career to serve as Deputy Chief Counsel/Senior Investigative Counsel to the U.S. House Government Reform and Oversight Committee. In that capacity he led approximately fifteen attorneys in the investigation of alleged illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources and conducted the inquiry of witnesses during congressional hearings on the matter. Mr. Rohrbaugh earned his B.A. in Economics from Wittenburg University in Ohio in 1969 and his J.D. from American University Law School in Washington, D.C. in 1972. He and his wife, Linda, are residents of Brinklow in Montgomery County. They have two daughters.
This award is dedicated to the memory of Chris Hohenstein who was a founding member of the Maryland Chapter. Chris was taken from us prematurely on August 24, 1998. This award has been established in memory of his many contributions to the Maryland Chapter ACFE, and to the furtherance of our goals while he served as a Maryland State Trooper and SIU Investigator. Foremost, we remember Chris as our comrade and dear friend. The Officers and Board of Directors of the Maryland Chapter have voted to present this award annually to recognize those who have made significant contributions to the prevention, detection and/or prosecution of fraud in the State of Maryland. Maryland Chapter CFEs, Associates and Affiliates were encouraged to submit nominations for this award.
