Teacher Charged With Taking Indecent Liberties With Child

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — The Fredericksburg Police Department charged a high school teacher on Tuesday with two charges of indecent liberties with a child and one charge of solicitation to possess child pornography.

Marcus Salley, 33, of Fredericksburg, who was arrested Tuesday, was a high school teacher in Stafford County, according to the police.

In early September, the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office was notified that a high school teacher was having relations with a minor. A Stafford County school resource officer investigated the allegation and determined Salley was having an online relationship with a juvenile who lives in another state through an instant messaging app, the police said.

The case was turned over to the Fredericksburg Police Department when it was determined Salley’s actions occurred in the city of Fredericksburg.

Salley is being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond, the police said.
