“The sentence comes after Fairfax County police say they received allegations from multiple incidents of physical assault on female students.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provided for this claim discuss incidents in different locations (Centreville, Loudoun County) and do not specifically corroborate that Fairfax County police received allegations of multiple physical assaults on female students in the context of the sentencing described in other claims.
