On November 15, 2015 Stafford authorities received a report that an 11-year-old female Stafford resident had been sexually assaulted by 35 year old David Alan Schwartz.

At some point during the night Schwartz sexually assaulted the 11-year-old victim. The 11-year-old victim told her mother about the sexual assault a few weeks later after she learned that she and her family would be attending a party in which Schwartz would be present. The victim’s mother immediately contacted authorities.
Schwartz is currently incarcerated in the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond.
