LCPS sexual assualt - who is held accountable?

If one of the principles of the trans movement is to permit people to choose their identity, and I believe it is, there is evidence that this student does not identify as trans but certainly is open to assuming a feminine appearance. I am not sure the narrative is relevant. Sexual assault is wrong, grievously wrong, and deserves redress. If, and I am not suggesting this is the case here, the bathroom policy contributed to a negative event, that has to be examined irrespective of the narrative. Schools cannot function without an expectation of safety.

The problem I have with the handling of this case is that the school authorities acted (from all accounts) that trans people are higher in the woke ladder than young women. This is the problem with identity politics - it eats itself and can lead to poor decisions. Young women should be able to rely on being safe in washrooms, particularly in wealthy Loudoun County where resources can make this so. By the way, the same goes for trans students, gay students, shy students or any other type of student. No one gets a pass for sexual assault or should be subject to it. And lets be real - if the student is somehow trans, well, every group has its bad apples. Not dealing transparently with the issue does no one any favors.

I am appalled at the mention of the girls' sexual history. Do people who believe this is relevant have any idea of the need for rape shield laws, which gained steam in the 60's and 70's? Heck, in the 80's when I was a law review editor at a top law school we were still getting articles about the challenges in implementing rape shield laws and eliminating sexist artifacts. I am no bleeding heart, either, but rape shield laws are all about justice. Such laws back then were resisted by archaic white men who believed that assault was excusable if women acted a certain way. So the people arguing that this young woman's sexual history is relevant are in essence asserting the rationale of narrow minded troglodytes of the past? Such people aren't liberal or progressive, but are in fact intolerant. A major media publication took this position in this case - to heck with the prote4ction of women and rape shield considerations- because again, protecting the narrative of trans people was perceived as more important than protecting women against violence.

Nothing herein should be taken as being intolerant of trans people. But rape is wrong, and group identity does not excuse it any way.

You have built quite the strawman there. Literally nobody is defending the actions of the perpetrator. It is unequivocally sexual assault. So, the victim's sexual history plays no role in the question of guilt. However, it absolutely destroys the right-wing argument that this was somehow related to trans access to bathrooms.

Um, no it doesn't. People walking around with a peni$ (straight/bi/trans/whatever) should not be in girls bathrooms or locker rooms.

DP. You are missing the point, which is that trans bathroom policies had zero impact on this case. First, it occurred under the old policies that required trans students to use the bathrooms matching their gender assigned at birth. Second, regardless of rules or gender identity, this was not the case of a student with a penis laying in wait in a girls bathroom to sexually assault someone. In this case, the girl reportedly asked the boy to meet her in that bathroom, where they had hooked up previously. The fact that they had hooked up there previously in no way excuses the assault, but does give important context when evaluating bathroom policies because this assault didn’t happen because they were in a bathroom, it happened because they were in a private space hidden from view of others (just like the second assault that happened in an empty classroom). People trying to use this girl’s story to advance unrelated anti-trans policies are trivializing and degrading her trauma.

So what is the reason this boy was walking around in a skirt in high school and using women's bathrooms? That school board is lying about something. Apparently they had far left policies 3 or some years ago that kids and parents have been complaining about in that school's reviews. So either they are lying about the trans policy being implemented when that kid raped the girl or hiding something.

Excuse my anonymous gmail persona but let me tell you that I hate this school.
I understand we live in a democratic state/area but don’t put politics in our classrooms. This school takes everything little way too far and brainwashes their students to think their way. The work is an immense amount of work in some classes and put way too much pressure on the students, which cause suicides and depression or other mental illnesses. The food is absolutely disgusting. I would like to advocate for more nutritionally enhanced food that isn’t greasy and are fullfilling with not a lot of carbs.
The kids here are expected to be the best and a teacher said that the school ranks each student based on their GPA scores.
The history teachers expect you to read from a textbook each day which is super long and tiring. It consumes the amount of time kids here have to go outside and actually play.. The teachers lose work and tests that students have completed fully and expect makeup work and never listen to the students at all.
The millenial teachers brainwash the next generation students to their liberal and sjw politics and constantly pressure it in class, which I cringe about.
I am a young lgbt republican and I want to join the lgbt club and other clubs to make friends but there is so much brainwashing of politics in there that there’s barely enough to express my own opinion without getting bullied or getting in trouble. I wasn’t aware of the young republicans club either, which I plan on joining the next year definitely. So that’s a plus for the school for actually adding that club, thanks.

Updates by Rosiak on this case. I'm going to run his tweets together below:

"Loudoun's schools had a “stunning lack” of transparency around the bathroom rape & “intentional amnesia” when testifying about it, a grand jury said today, adding that it might've indicted LCPS' lawyer for witness tampering if such a law existed in VA.

Days before the rape, a teacher's aide wrote to the department chair that he “has come into class more than once with his arm around a girl’s neck. I have caught him sitting on other girls’ laps several times … I wouldn’t want to be held accountable if someone should get hurt.”

But school officials seemed to accuse the teacher's aide of transphobia against the skirt-wearing boy. Her boss "questioned [her] true motivation" and an assistant principal “questioned whether the author of the email had followed proper protocol.” Days later, he raped.

During the rape itself, another teacher's aide walked in to the bathroom and saw that two students were in a stall together, but did nothing. According to the report, the girl was lying on the bathroom floor while the skirt-wearing boy stood over her.

As previously reported, the victim's father came to the school and they called the police on HIM and offered counseling to any students who had to watch the police, and sent an email to parents saying the only threat on campus that day was an angry father. What we didn't know:

The email (attributed to the principal) was written by LCPS' press secretary and edited by the superintendent. And THE RAPIST WAS ON THE LOOSE THE WHOLE TIME, for hours. They discussed a restraining order against victim's dad when the rapist was literally “missing and at-large.”

The chief operating officer arrived at the scene and immediately wrote that “The incident at SBHS is related to Policy 8040,” which is the policy that the superintendent and school board were attempting to pass dealing with transgender student bathroom use.

A month later the victim's dad was arrested at the school board meeting where 8040 was being debated, enraged after the superintendent said there had *never been any bathroom assaults.* He later claimed he thought the question meant "related to 8040"-but that would still be a lie

LCPS never disciplined the rapist. A judge ordered him not to return to the same school or use computers. Prosecutor Buta Biberaj, who was seeking jail time against the victim's father for a misdemeanor, never told the school, and it didn't transfer him until the new year started

Within his first weeks at the new school year, it caught the student (then wearing an ankle bracelet for rape charges) committing multiple incidents of sexually depraved or offensive behavior, which the superintendent knew about. They just had him write this:

Days later he “snatched an unassuming female out of the hallway, abducted her into an empty classroom, nearly asphyxiated her, and sexually assaulted her." That victim told a cop instead of principal & appears to have THOUGHT THE PRINCIPAL WOULD LECTURE HER FOR NOT WEARING A MASK

I wonder if the superintendent is worried about their own safety. People get real itchy when others play games with their kids lives.

As stated in the other thread, Rosniak’s reporting, for a publication that lacks credibility as a news organization, is contemptible.

I’m sorry, what? Do you also find the grand jury process “contemptible”?

This person is just upset that the perp was caught and the school board/school administration was held responsible. Blame the messenger is a great game when you can’t argue the facts.

That's absurd. I'm upset that Rosniak turns his focus on irrelevant details for angertainment purposes and omits key findings of the grand jury that implicate the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

The entire politicization of this by people outside our community for the nefarious purposes of attacking the LGTBQ community was egged on by the tone and tenor of this type of coverage. That's what makes it contemptible.

Rosniak didn't report a single thing that wasn't true. What exactly are you refuting? I'll wait.

- The trans bathroom discussion is irrelevant to all of this.

- The Title IX regulations enacted in July 2020 must change, and really tie the hands of schools to deal with these issues. They had a direct impact on allowing for the second assault to occur (not an excuse, just a reality).

- The schools have to be able to take disciplinary/preventative action even when law enforcement says step back and do not investigate until they finish their investigation. I get the rationale, but the school has a duty for safety and should not be obliged to step aside as they did as that investigation went on.

- The schools, since following Title IX limits and the request of law enforcement, needed to be much more proactive in monitoring this boy while on campus.


And unrelated to the school part of this, after reading the AP article, the psychosexual evaluation produced for the court must have been a doozy for the judge for say what he/she did and have the boy require to register as a sex offender for life at his age.

He raped the first girl anally. She needed corrective surgery.

The LGBTQ crowd has blood on their hands.

How about obstructing a grand jury? Witness tampering? Treating the safety of children like a PR problem? Failing to hold any employees of LCPS accountable for this? Do you find those things contemptible, too?

If you actually read the 25 page report, you would know that none of it has anything to do with the fact that dude was wearing a kilt. He wasn't in the girls bathroom to pee. It was merely a vacant place to commit his crime. He wasn't wearing a kilt to waltz into the bathroom undetected. He isn't gender fluid and none of this had anything to do with the transgender policy. He's a hetero violent sociopath and hopefully will spend the rest of his life in jail, because if not he WILL strike again.

Rosniak is the only reason those LIARS didn't get away with their willful, deliberate scheme to keep this from everyone and cover their weasel a$$es. They are only mad that they got caught.

I already said I think LCPS mishandled this. I think some of what you’re alleging here is a biased reading of the facts presented. I think you are deliberately failing to see the forest for the trees in that the report highlights institutional failures at two organizations.

There’s recommendations are good. And the No-bill was correct.

The report itself was ok but obviously written like a prosecutor trying to indict a bologna sandwich. It would have been better had they stuck to the facts instead of trying to characterize behavior/actions in some places.

The fact that the assailant was wandering the school unaccounted for for several hours after the incident is upsetting. Did it not occur to anyone to find him? Did they even try?
