FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- Detectives from the Fairfax County Police Department have arrested David Andrew Jones, 43, of the Vienna area and charged him with three counts of aggravated sexual battery (VA Code 18.2-67.3), animate object sexual penetration (VA Code 18.2-67.2), forcible sodomy (VA Code 18.2-67.1), and taking indecent liberties with a child by person in a custodial or supervisory relationship (VA Code 18.2-370.1), according to police.

The arrest Wednesday came as a result of an investigation which began earlier Wednesday, when school personnel reported an alleged inappropriate encounter involving a 14-year-old female victim and an adult male, police said.

Major Crimes Division detectives became involved and launched their investigation. A police spokeswoman said Wednesday afternoon that the police department can't reveal the name of the school because the investigation is ongoing.

A spokesman for Fairfax County Public Schools said that Jones is not an employee of FCPS.

Detectives would like to speak with anyone else who has information that may assist with this investigation or may have had similar encounters with Jones.
