Why was the thread on the sexual assault at a Loudoun county school deleted?

A girl was brutally raped in the bathroom on school property and the school system (and media) made the father of this girl look like a jackass in front of the entire nation. This alone is horrifying. If the second part is true that the same person was involved in a second attack parents should be aware that the school system is not protecting children and we should all be outraged.

Nothing is proven. The father has made himself look like a "jackass". There has been no "victim shaming". That is 100% ridiculous.

Jeff is correct to do this. This story is a right-wing try to get Youngkin in office. Nothing more people move along.

NP. I can't even believe I just read the above. A girl was raped - and you're claiming that reporting it is an attempt to get Youngkin in office? Do you realize how disgusting you sound?

You want to suppress this story because YOU want to get McAuliffe into office. Sick.

https://wtop.com/loudoun-county/2021/10/teen-charged-in-loudoun-co-school-groping-was-on-electronic-monitoring-for-earlier-charges/

A Loudoun County, Virginia, high school student who allegedly groped a girl at Broad Run High School last week was on electronic monitoring after being charged with sexually assaulting a young girl in a bathroom in an Ashburn high school in May.

It appears that my skepticism was unwarranted this time and Luke Rosiak and the Daily Wire were correct that the same individual was involved in two assaults. Some details reported by Rosiak remain unconfirmed and some have reasonable (if not necessarily acceptable) explanations. But, feel free to discuss.

Luke’s information came from the LCPD. There is also a rape kit.

It's important to know that VA law HB257 appears to allow schools & principals to decide if they want to report sexual assults. That may be why the school did not report the assualt, it's the law. https://twitter.com/LCPSDoBetter/status/1447909289822199812?s=20

It'll be wild if it does come out that the Broad Run (recent) assailant is the same as in the Stone Bridge (old-Mr. Smith's daughter) incident.

I'm hesitant to believe it because in the recent article about the Broad Run assault, the paper identifies the assailant as male. In the Stone Bridge incident, the assailant is (and always has been) identified as gender-fluid and transgender.

If it does come out that the first assault occurred, it will be beyond tragic. If, indeed, that attacker went on to undertake another attack, it will be truly horrifying. But, beyond the question of gender, why has the Sheriff's office confirmed one arrest but not the other? The first alleged assault was investigated for 2 months, the second for just a couple of days.

From the fox news article - what do you interpret “investigation…prior to arrest” and “pending court proceedings” to mean?

"We can confirm a May 28, 2021 case that involved a thorough 2-month-long investigation that was conducted to determine the facts of the case prior to arrest," the sheriff’s office told Fox News. "This case is still pending court proceedings. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is not able to provide any documents that pertain to a pending case." The sheriff's office confirmed that the case involved sexual assault.

I am not sure how to interpret that. In the Broad Run case, the Sheriff's office had no problem saying, "A teenager from Ashburn has been charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student..." That attack occurred on Oct. 6. and the notice was posted on Oct. 7. Why so mum with regard to the alleged Stone Bridge assault that is said to have occurred all the way back in May?

The sheriffs explanation is here:

Authorities said in the statement that on July 8, a 14-year-old male was arrested in the case and charged in juvenile court with two counts of forcible sodomy.

In the statement, the sheriff’s office said it did not report the incident in a news release at the time of the arrest because “the suspect and victim were familiar with each other, the investigation was complex, and a public announcement had the potential to identify a juvenile victim.”

This story is scary. But what is even more scarier is the moderators of this board didn't seem the story true until a more liberal newspapers picked up the story.

It wasn't until "more liberal newspapers picked up the story" but rather when certain facts were confirmed. WTOP (which isn't liberal), The Washington Post, and even the Loudoun Times got statements on the record that the Daily Wire did not.

I understand that you may find waiting for confirmation of facts to be scary, but I think it is responsible.

They got statements because the cat was out of the bag and had no choice. You have done no such waiting for confirmation of facts in other circumstances. Horse paste poster is a great example.

What are you talking about? It is a fact that many anti-vaxxers are taking horse paste as a cure for Covid.

Yes, but that is not what they are taking:

Also, remember the couple in Arizona who poisoned themselves using fish tank cleaner after following Trump's advice:

Jim Acosta called it a livestock dewormer to Dr. Fauci, when referring to the fact that Joe Rogan took the FDA approved for human form. Beyond disingenuous. Guess you agree with Acosta.

Rogan took a dewormer. If he took the FDQ approved version, then he took a human dewormer. But, widespread use of livestock dewormer has been clearly documented. Why are you trying to defend that usage?

That seems to be contrary to Title IX, unless you decide to the classify the incident as something other than sexual assault.

Why are you deleting all posts discussing this? Do you not believe that some medications have other benefits besides their designated use? If a doc told you to take an aspirin a day, would you argue with him that aspirin is a painkiller and a painkiller only? Curious.
