Virginia man accused of sexually assaulting young students at Woodbridge school

A Burke, Virginia, man is accused of sexually assaulting young students at a Prince William County elementary school.

Earlier this month, Prince William County police started investigating the allegations at John Jenkins Elementary in Woodbridge. They found that between March and April, information specialist Jonathan George Skocik, 33, inappropriately touched four students in his office.

The students reported what happened to a teacher who told school officials, and Skocik was removed from the school. He is on administrative leave and will not be at the school pending outcome of the case.

On Friday, Skocik turned himself in and police arrested him on charges of aggravated sexual assault and indecent liberties by a custodian. He is being held without bond.

In a letter to the school community, Principal Xanthe McFadden said that the families of the students affected have been contacted.


After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
