Great Falls resident David Scalea, 40, who worked as a Langley High School Instructional Assistant has been placed on leave and is behind bars after a student caught him in the act, according to investigators.
During school hours on Friday, Oct. 11, police say that a School Resource Officer was notified by administrators that a student observed an instructional assistant masturbating in a classroom behind his desk.
Detectives launched an investigation and investigators determined that Scalea was in a classroom and began inappropriately touching himself underneath his desk, which was spotted by the student, who immediately notified administrators.
No students were physically harmed.
The 40-year-old was charged with obscene sexual display and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was placed on administrative leave by the school and is being held without bond at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
