Two male students at a Fairfax County middle school have been charged with sexual battery on a female student on a school bus parked at their school, county police said. | |
The 11- and 12-year-old students at Glasgow Middle School in Lincolnia, Va., are facing misdemeanor sexual battery charges in the Nov. 16 incident, which took place on a late bus after school, police said. | |
The victim told investigators that she boarded the bus on the GMLR10 route and walked to the back, according to a search warrant filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court. | |
A short time later, she told investigators, a student slapped her on the buttocks. After she asked the student what he did, the student replied, “I touched your butt,” the girl told investigators. | |
The girl said the student grabbed her buttocks and breasts over a period of 10 to 12 minutes, according to the search warrant. The girl told investigators that the student also held her down and straddled her as a second student held her feet down. The girl yelled at them to stop. | |
At some point, the second student tried to force the girl’s face into the first student’s crotch. Police said it did not appear that a driver was on the bus at the time of the incident, although they could not say for sure. | |
Investigators wrote that the alleged sexual assault was reported to authorities by Glasgow’s assistant principal, Stefan Mascoll, after he was alerted to it by a parent of a student. | Investigators wrote that the alleged sexual assault was reported to authorities by Glasgow’s assistant principal, Stefan Mascoll, after he was alerted to it by a parent of a student. |
A county police officer who reviewed video from the bus wrote in the search warrant that it showed the two students grabbing the girl several times. | |
The Washington Post does not generally name the victims of sexual assault or juveniles accused of crimes. Officials with the county school system have not responded to a request for comment about the case. |
