The head of a Saudi-funded Islamic prep school in Fairfax County has been arrested for allegedly covering up a 5-year-old girl’s report of sexual abuse by her father, the latest in a string of incidents that have brought negative scrutiny to the school.

Islamic Saudi Academy Director General Abdullah Al-Shabnan, 52, turned himself into police June 9 and was charged with two misdemeanor counts of obstruction of justice and failing to report an allegation of child abuse, according to a police report. He has been released pending trial.
