[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The absolutely most disturbing part of the entire thing was the the boy was enrolled at another school and allowed to roam freely. I’m not sure what the principal of school 2 was told, so maybe it’s not his fault, but someone knew, and sent him to the other school anyway. That’s horrifying.[/quote]

+1 It’s not at all rare for school districts to move problem students (see also: Virginia Beach). The admins at School 2 definitely knew this kid’s history. [/quote]

As people have said many, many times: title IX changes under DeVos mean that a student who is *accused* of and charged with sexual assault but not yet convicted has the right to attend school. LCPS had their hands tied by Title IX and it created a scenario where another student was groped. But it was Title IX that allowed him to stay in school as a matter of rights while an investigation was ongoing. [/quote]

No, Title IX absolutely does not mean that you can’t take any interim measures to supervise a student accused of assault. They have the right to attend school - just like all kids; even convicted murders - but they can still be subject to discipline. [/quote]

Schools do not have the staff to 1:1 monitor every student accused of doing something illegal. I understand you wish it were so, but it is not. He had not, under the law or Title IX, been found guilty of sexual assault at that time. [/quote]

One observation from the special grand jury report.  It was the court that ordered the alleged perpetrator moved from SBHS to BRHS *after* the perpetrator had been arrested and charged with the first assault. Presumably, if the court (a real court, not a Title IX kangaroo court, btw) had wanted a different treatment and had wanted this person to not be in school, they would have said so?

Also, can we take predictions as to what will [url=https://wtop.com/loudoun-county/2022/01/judge-reverses-decision-teen-convicted-of-loudoun-co-high-school-sexual-assaults-will-not-go-on-sex-offender-registry/]happen when this person is released in a couple years?[/url].  They're not required to register as a sex offender. When he/she/they reoffend in 2025, we'll discuss the judge's decision then.[/quote]

And I believe a court ordered that for this student because *based on the details of the first assault*, he had an relationship with the victim  and the encounter had, even by her admission,  begun as consensual. Of course you can experience rape if you withdraw consent and the partner doesn’t stop, but UNTIL an investigation had completed, it was murky what had actually happened.

Dishonest players love to pretend that when people say this we are excusing him or minimizing the victim’s assault. That’s not the case. But it is true these details DID cloud the picture of the assault to the degree I can see why a court went with this decision. [/quote]
