Former Christian school teacher arrested, accused of trying to meet child for sex in Fairfax County

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — A former teacher at Oak Hill Christian School is facing charges after he allegedly tried to engage in sex acts with someone he met online, who he thought was an underage teen, according to police.

Authorities arrested David Sabin, 38, of Ashburn, at his home on Aug. 11 in connection with the investigation.

It all started last month, when Sabin contacted an undercover detective who was posing as a 14-year-old online, according to the Fairfax County Police Department. During their online conversations, police said Sabin “initiated inappropriate conversations” and planned to travel to Fairfax County to engage in sex acts with the child.

Upon investigating further, detectives connected Sabin with another incident that took place in October 2024, where he also allegedly talked with a detective who was pretending to be underage.

Sabin taught at Oak Hill Christian School, a private Christian school in McNair, but has since been fired, according to Fairfax County Police. Authorities charged him with four counts of solicitation of a minor, two counts of production of CSAM, attempted aggravated sexual battery, attempted object sexual penetration, attempted sodomy and attempted indecent liberties.

Investigators urge anyone who believes they or their children may have had inappropriate contact with Sabin to contact the police department’s Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800, option “4.” Tips can also be submitted anonymously by phone at 866-411-8477.

Sabin is being held without bond at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. DC News Now reached out to Oak Hill Christian School for comment but has not yet heard back.
