Former Virginia Teacher Who Was Acquitted by a Jury of Alleged Sex Crime Has Agreed to Resolve Remaining Charge

September 23, 2022: Today, the Fairfax (Virginia) Circuit Court accepted an agreement between Matthew Snell and the Commonwealth of Virginia under which the court deferred a finding of guilt for a period of two years. (Case number FE-2021-97.) During the two-year period, Mr. Snell cannot violate any criminal laws and cannot have contact with the complaining witness or the complaining witness’s family. Upon fulfillment of those terms, Mr. Snell’s charge will be reduced to a non-sex-related misdemeanor with no active jail time, and Mr. Snell will not be required to register as a sex offender.

Mr. Snell said: “Today rights a wrong that started 1078 days ago. Just like my not-guilty verdict from February 2022, today’s deal speaks clearly about the facade of justice and quality of evidence that Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office and the Fairfax County Police Department used to keep me locked in a cage for 963 of those days. While I bear no animosity, something needs to change. This does not seem like it should happen in the country that I deployed to protect. Again, thanks to my attorney, Damon D. Colbert, who fought for my rights when the Fairfax County Police Department and Steve Descano’s office could not be bothered.”

It should also be noted, that Yousef Azimi, the principal arrested in this case for failing to report, had his case completely dismissed in the Fairfax County Circuit Court.

This is crazy. Sounds like there should be a lawsuit.

There's no way Descano himself knew about this case. Steve would release any kid toucher immediately and move to have the charges dropped. Something doesn't add up here. Maybe the defendant is a republican?

Someone should be held accountable for this. It seems like a lot of mistakes was made and this case was not investigated properly. I am wondering what the repercussions will be for this. As a taxpayer, I am upset that my money went to keeping an innocent man and a much-needed teacher in jail.

You people voted for democrats, not accountability. Try again next time.

Why did Snell flee to El Paso the day after the texts between him and the teen were discovered? Think that had anything to do with his pre-trial custody decision?

Snell is not from the area and has immediate family in El Paso, Texas. The police issued a warrant for his arrest after he boarded the plane. Looks like the police tried him in the media and that the kid was lying. Poor guy.

Sounds like Snell brought most of his troubles on himself.

It sounds like some spoiled kid in Fairfax accused an innocent man. I wish I could say I was shocked, but some kids in that area are incredibly entitled and spoiled.
