Skocik works as instructional assistant in Fairfax County
Jonathan George Skocik, 33, of Burke, Virginia, worked as an instructional assistant at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax County from 2017 to 2021. During this period, he had direct access to students as part of his role.
Hired as IT specialist at John Jenkins Elementary
Skocik transitioned from Fairfax County Public Schools to Prince William County Schools, where he was hired as an IT specialist at John Jenkins Elementary School in Woodbridge. In this role, he continued to have access to young children in the school building.
Sexual assault of four 8-year-old girls
Between March and April 2022, Skocik sexually assaulted four 8-year-old girls at John Jenkins Elementary School. The victims were all students at the school where Skocik worked as an IT specialist.
Skocik arrested; police warn of possible additional victims
Skocik was arrested and charged with sexual assault. Prince William County Police publicly stated that there may be more victims and urged anyone with information to come forward. Given that Skocik had worked in school settings since 2017 — including four years at a Fairfax County secondary school — the potential scope of his offenses extended well beyond the four confirmed victims.
Questions remain about oversight across two school districts
Skocik’s case raised serious questions about employee screening and monitoring across Northern Virginia school districts. He worked with students for five years across two different school systems — Fairfax County and Prince William County — before being caught. No public explanation was given for how a school employee was able to assault four children before the crimes were detected.
What Went Wrong
School Employee Had Unsupervised Access to Children
An IT specialist — not a teacher subject to classroom oversight — had access to young children throughout the school building. The role allowed proximity to students without the same level of supervision as instructional staff.
Multiple Victims Before Detection
Four 8-year-old girls were sexually assaulted before Skocik was caught. The assaults occurred over a period spanning March to April 2022, indicating a pattern that went undetected by school staff.
Cross-District Employment Without Red Flags
Skocik moved from a Fairfax County secondary school to a Prince William County elementary school — transitioning from older students to much younger children — without any apparent additional scrutiny.
Potential for More Victims Across Five Years
Police warned there may be additional victims. Skocik had worked in schools since 2017, meaning he had access to students for five years across two school districts before being arrested.
