(Updated at 6:40 p.m. on 1/15/2024) A 17-year-old student was arrested yesterday (Friday) for allegedly sexually assaulting another student at Annandale High School.
The victim reported the assault to a school resource officer earlier this week, the Fairfax County Police Department said in a news release.
“Detectives determined the juvenile male suspect forcefully sexually assaulted the victim near a stairwell,” the FCPD said. “The victim was able to flee from the suspect which stopped the assault.“
According to police, the 17-old-year “made admissions to the assault” when questioned by detectives, who served petitions charging the teen with sexual assault-related felonies yesterday.
The teen is currently in custody at the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center.
Fairfax County Public Schools directed comments to the police department, which said all of the currently available information about the case was in the news release.
