CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A Newport News assistant principal pled guilty to child sex crimes in Chesapeake on Monday.
In November 2022, Jason Taylor was arrested on 13 felony charges for incidents that happened between 2015 and 2018 and involved a teenage girl.
Following Taylor's conviction Tuesday, a spokesperson for Newport News Public Schools said he was no longer employed with the school division.
Taylor had the assistant principal at Warwick High School in Newport News. An NNPS spokeswoman said the crimes Taylor is accused of committing happened before he started working for the school division. The victim had been a student at Western Branch High School in Chesapeake.
According to court documents, Taylor pleaded guilty to six felony violations of "indecent liberties by a parent or guardian."
The plea agreement states that Taylor won't be sentenced to more than 10 active years in prison. His sentencing is set for July.
