PARENTS OUTRAGED: Illegal alien student accused of groping girls at VA high school

March 13, 2026

From WJLA.COM: An adult Fairfax High School student has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery amid accusations that he was groping girls in the halls during school.

7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to break this story and spoke exclusively with the victims’ parents.

“There’s a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault,” one mother told 7News. “It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs. It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months.”

Israel Flores Ortiz is almost 19 years old, and he’s in the 11th grade at Fairfax High School.

Ortiz is also an illegal alien from El Salvador, who crossed the southern border in 2024, and was allowed into the country by the Biden administration.

The report further explains: About a dozen girls have come forward to report that Ortiz put his hands in between their legs, grabbed their private parts in the front, and moved his hands to their butts while in the school’s hallways.

The school principal reportedly tried to dismiss the disgusting sexual assaults as simply “touching students’ buttocks.”

But parents are furious. Slamming the principal’s comment, a mother said, “Yeah, no, I would not be here for butt slapping. I would, I mean, I would be upset about that, but this wouldn’t be my second day this week here at the courthouse for that. It was a clear violation. He put his hand in between my daughter’s legs, and the butt was actually the last thing that he touched.”

One mother said, “I think from the very beginning, Fairfax County has attempted to diminish what happened to these girls.”

“They have attempted to sweep it under the rug,” another mother said.

The assaults have reportedly been happening for months, and nothing has been done about it.

Now Ortiz has filed a request to be released from jail, and Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office even agreed to Ortiz’s bail request. However, the judge denied the request on Friday.

Parents have told WJLA/7 News that the school said they would allow Ortiz to return to school when he is released from jail, which has prompted more outrage from parents.

It gets worse….

Immediately after his arrest last week, ICE issued a detainer for Ortiz in order to deport him, but ICE told Nick that the Fairfax County Sheriff is not honoring that detainer.

“Unfortunately, sanctuary politicians like Gov. (Abigail) Spanberger are outlawing cooperation with ICE and choosing to RELEASE criminal illegal aliens from their jails back onto their communities to create more American victims,” an ICE spokesperson told 7News. “We are calling on Fairfax County to honor our detainer to ensure this violent criminal is removed from our country so he can never claim another victim again.”
