There was a reported "disturbance" between students inside John Hanson Middle School on Wednesday, Oct. 11, which required intervention by staff members and the sheriff's School Resource Officer (SRO) assigned to the building.

During the subsequent investigation into the incident, the SRO determine that a student was sexually assaulted during the disturbance, and the teens involved were identified days later and will face Charles County Public Schools discipline.

Officials noted that due to the students' ages, they cannot be charged and their names will not be released, though the Charles County Department of Juvenile Services were notified.

The investigation at the school is ongoing.
