Spotsylvania County, VA – A Spotsylvania County man has been arrested following an investigation into alleged online activity involving an underage girl, the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office announced this week.
According to Major Delbert Myrick, the Sheriff’s Office received a report on November 3, 2025, regarding an adult male meeting with a minor. Members of the Child Victim’s Unit and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Taskforce responded to the report and initiated an investigation.
Following the execution of search warrants and a review of submitted evidence, Jason Zirkle II was arrested. He faces 10 counts of violating Virginia Code 18.2-361.01(B)(v)—sexual abuse of animals and the production or possession of obscene items depicting such acts—and one count of violating 18.2-374.3(C)(iii), the use of communication systems to facilitate certain offenses involving children, authorities said.
The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office is a member of the NOVA-DC Internet Crimes Against Children Virginia State Police Taskforce, a multi-agency group dedicated to combating online child exploitation. Officials noted that their department works closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to prevent child abuse and recover missing minors.
Anyone who suspects a child is being abused is urged to contact the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, the Virginia CPS Hotline at (804) 786-8536, or the NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST.
