On Saturday, WTOP News<\/a> reported three legal cases against Fairfax County School employees.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Three Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) employees were arrested or charged in unrelated criminal investigations announced by Fairfax County police this week, including allegations involving inappropriate contact with a student, embezzlement and theft.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most serious offense involves a Langley High School teacher accused of inappropriate conduct with a student.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police<\/strong><\/a> said the investigation began June 2 after concerns were reported to the School Resource Officer (SRO). Detectives later determined that Matthew Thorsen, 38, from Reston, a math teacher at Langley High School, had engaged in unlawful and inappropriate contact with a student.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was arrested June 4 and charged with three counts of Indecent Liberties by Custodian and one count of Using a Communication Device to Solicit a Minor. He is being held without bond. FCPS placed him on administrative leave after being notified of the allegations, according to police.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…In a separate case<\/a>, police charged a Hayfield Secondary School Finance Technician for embezzling more than $40,000 from the school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…A third investigation<\/a> involved the alleged theft of woodworking tools from Chantilly High School.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police said school administrators alerted the SRO on May 29 after learning an employee, Trevor Papavasiliou, 34, from Culpeper, had taken $1,200 worth of tools from a woodworking classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He turned himself in June 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the investigation, Papavasiliou was charged with Grand Larceny. The school has suspended him from his position.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cases are unrelated, but Fairfax County police announced the trio of arrests and charges involving school employees on the same day.<\/strong><\/p>\n
