An elementary school teacher with Loudoun County Public Schools was arrested Friday after the sheriff’s office said he had inappropriate contact with a student.
Robert A. Skiffington, 64, of Centreville, Virginia, has been charged with simple assault and battery, a misdemeanor, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said.
An investigation found that the second grade teacher at Sugarland Elementary School in Sterling kissed a student on the cheek and mouth multiple times during the past school year.
After a May 15 report about the inappropriate contact, school staff contacted the school resource officer.
The sheriff’s office said Skiffington was released on a $3,500 unsecured bond.
