Education Department Investigates Allegations of Groping at Virginia High School

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating Fairfax County High School after 12 girls accused 19-year-old Israel Flores Ortiz of sexual assault.
Flores Ortiz, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, faces 13 counts of assault and battery for allegedly groping female classmates.
Parents have expressed outrage over the school's response to the allegations, fearing for their children's safety.
The investigation is part of a broader scrutiny of incidents in Northern Virginia schools related to inappropriate conduct in female-only spaces.
