MANASSAS
Illegal Immigrant Charged in Rape of Girl
A Salvadoran man who was in the United States illegally and was to be deported this month has been charged with sexually assaulting a 10-year-old Manassas girl after lab tests linked his DNA to evidence in the case, Prince William County police said.
Jos¿ Abel Zelaya Ascencio, 32, formerly of Manassas, is charged with breaking into the girl's house in October and raping her in her bedroom, police said.
He was being held in Lumpkin, Ga., on an immigration violation and was to have been deported May 9. But on May 6, lab results linked his DNA to the crime and he was returned to Virginia on Sunday, police said.
Ascencio, who is being held at the jail in Manassas, will have a hearing July 2 in Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
LOUDOUN COUNTY SCHOOLS
Parent Faces Felony Charge in Gun Incident
A western Loudoun County woman was charged yesterday with bringing three loaded pistols into her child's elementary school May 13, authorities said.
Kim M. Fritz, 45, was taken into custody that day after she went to Round Hill Elementary for a conference with an administrator and was found to have a .38-caliber pistol and two .22-caliber pistols in her purse, the Loudoun Sheriff's Office said. She did not remove the weapons from her purse and did not threaten anyone at the school, officials said.
Fritz had been held on a temporary detention order while being evaluated in a hospital psychiatric unit. She was charged with possession of a firearm on school property, a felony. She was released on a personal recognizance bond.
