A Prince William County school official and basketball coach has been arrested over a sexual relationship he allegedly had with a student.

Nsonji White, an attendance officer and girls basketball coach at Stonewall Jackson High School, is accused of having a relationship with a then-17-year-old student in 2004 and 2005, according to Prince William County police. Since April, at least four other teachers in the county have also been criminally charged due to accusations of having inappropriate relationships with students.

Police allege that White, 38, of Manassas took part in “sexual acts” with the female student. The sex acts, which police did not describe further, happened several times at different locations, including in the school, police said.

White is charged with five counts of crimes against nature and five counts of indecent liberties by a custodian. He has worked for the district since 2003 and is being placed on administrative leave, schools spokesman Ken Blackstone said.
