Police name men arrested in park sting
The arrests were part of a continuing investigation which began in April and May and resulted in 71 charges being brought against 30 men for similar offenses.
Troopers began their investigation after they received residents’ complaints. A Cub Scout group had visited the area and had to leave after encountering men engaged in sexual activity in the woods, police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said following the initial arrests in May.
The 400-acre forest is known for its spring wild flowers and as a popular spot for horseback riding and mountain biking off U.S. 29, west of Manassas National Battlefield Park.
It has also been listed, along with Chinn Ridge at the battlefield and rest stop bathrooms off Interstate 66 near Manassas, as a cruising spot on a popular gay Web site.
