FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares are calling for an investigation into Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano after a man they say had just been released from jail allegedly tried to abduct a child at the Fair Oaks Mall.
At around 11:45 a.m. on July 18, officers responded to the Fair Oaks Mall for a reported abduction. There, police learned that a young girl was near an indoor play area when a man picked her up and walked away with her, making it all the way to the second floor of the shopping center before the girl’s parents intervened and got her back uninjured, according to officials.
