Fairfax County detectives received a report Thursday that a student was sexually assaulted on Jan. 12 in a Frost Middle School bathroom.
saying neighboring Loudoun County officials poorly handled a pair of sexual assaults committed by the same student — one of which took place in a high school bathroom, the other in an empty classroom.
Fairfax County Schools Superintendent Michelle Reid wrote to families and staff that school officials reported the assault to police Thursday after becoming aware of what happened. Reid said there would be additional adult support in the school, including increased security. Authorities will also be implementing a buddy system for students going to the bathroom or leaving class, she said.
“This is difficult news to comprehend and I understand there may be shock, fear and anxiety,” Reid said. Police said they will be conducting interviews, reviewing school surveillance footage and working closely with school officials to investigate the case.
