Fairfax County Attorney's office files motion for dismissal in federal case against several FCPD officers for their involement in sex trafficking

 In October 2021, a federal lawsuit was filed against several Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) officers for their involvement in a sex trafficking ring involving Jane Doe. The officers, none of whom are now with FCPD, are Deputy Chief Edwin Roessler (retired), James Baumstark (now a deputy chief with the Ashville, NC, Police Department), Vincent Scianna, Jason Mardocco, and Michael Barbazette.   The Senior Assistant County Attorney for Fairfax County states, in a motion to dismiss the case on March 21, 2022, that there are five legal arguments applying to some or all of the defendants that warrant the dismissal of the case.
