A Strongsville man has been charged with selling anabolic steroids in a federal court. George Najjar, 57, was charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute steroids.
According to the indictment, Najjar knowingly and intentionally manufactured and possessed with the intent to distribute and distributed anabolic steroids from 2013 through December 3, 2014.
If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal records, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Henry F. DeBaggis.
Najjar’s case serves as a reminder of the dangers of anabolic steroid use and the importance of holding those who sell these substances accountable.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
