BREAKING: Illegal alien convicted of groping girls while enrolled at Fairfax, VA high school sentenced to 180 days in jail

A Fairfax County court on Tuesday sentenced a 19-year-old illegal immigrant to 180 days in jail following a series of gropings of female students inside a Virginia high school.

Israel Flores Ortiz, originally from El Salvador and reportedly in the US illegally since 2024, was convicted on nine counts connected to hallway incidents at Fairfax High School. Judge Melinda Vanlowe handed down the sentence.

Court records show Flores Ortiz was charged as an adult but tried in juvenile court because most of the victims were minors. He was convicted in nine cases, acquitted in three, and one charge was dismissed. Prosecutors initially alleged he assaulted 13 female students, according to Fairfax Police.

With time already served factored into the sentence, Flores Ortiz has approximately 135 days remaining in custody. He will have 10 days to appeal the verdict.

The incidents occurred in crowded school hallways, where prosecutors said he groped multiple female classmates. The case prompted renewed concerns from some parents over school supervision and student safety inside Fairfax County schools.

The situation also drew political attention. The US Department of Education announced a Title IX investigation into the district, writing in a post on X: "Virginia’s experiment with radical gender ideology, race-based admissions systems, far-Left indoctrination, and unlawful discrimination has inflicted immeasurable harm on our students. It must stop."

This is a breaking story.
