A 50-year-old Fairfax County teacher is facing two felony charges stemming from an undercover investigation by a detective posing as a teenager online.
Norman Achin of Woodbridge, Virginia, used a social media app to solicit the undercover detective for sex, investigators say.
Investigators also say he sent a sexually explicit image, likely of himself.
Achin was arrested and charged with attempted indecent liberties and use of a communication device to solicit a minor. He is currently being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center without bond.
Achin was a teacher at Westfield High School and West Springfield High School during winter semester between 2017 and 2018.
Employee records show Achin taught Latin classes and was paid more than $87,000 a year.
Investigators say that Achin is currently suspended without pay during the investigation.
