They have their own investigative reporters. If a report seems credible, THEY’LL investigate before sharing with the public. Then it’s called an allegation.

If someone has plead guilty, is it still an "allegation?" Or is it considered a fact?

Not true. Reporters know you simply don’t mention the name of a minors.

It’s one of the go-to schools in Prince William County. Highly sought after. I’d consider its location a suburb of Washington, D.C., but others may disagree.

I live in Loudoun and our posts get only minimal responses too. Does not surprise there aren’t many PWC posters.

Exactly.
It’s not like no one cares. But PW county schools and Loudoun County Schools are not exactly DC suburbs.
Tbh, Fairfax County is barely a “DC suburb” but it’s just so much larger than the VA school districts that are actually DC-adjacent (Arlington and Alexandria) that it makes sense that there are many DCUMers who are plugged into those schools.
PW county and Loudoun County certainly are significant schools—but it’s more like “local news” than DCUM news.

But that’s the thing. “Local news “ (local to pwc) is not covering it either. Insidenova, Prince William Times, even Bristow Beat (which covered when the school board members’s son got arrested for assault last spring)—not a peep from any of them!

You can report the issues to local news outlets. They will want any emails or actual documentation that you might have.

Also, the cynical part of me thinks that the reason why there's no coverage is because the guy who did the SA is not non-binary or trans, so they can't run with that angle. He's a typical, white male, ya know, the same kind that does like 97% of these SA acts.

The coverage of the SA in LCPS was so wide-reaching because it was a non-binary perpetrator, and the right got to run with that for their banning trans from bathrooms angle.

Wrong.
The trans student perpetrating SA in Loudoun would not have received any coverage at all of the administrators would have reported him to the police and actually addressed the criminal act appropriately rather than tried to cover it up by simply moving the student to a new school and allowing it to happen again.
Repeated attacks perpetrated by the same student (aided by authority figures who do nothing and then pretend they didn’t know about the first one) is what gets people outraged.
It’s the same reason people are outraged about the Catholic Priest scandal. The church leaders didn’t address it appropriately and instead had a pattern of quietly moving offenders around and allowing the abuse to continue in a new location.
Trans or not trans—-perpetrators of SA should not be quietly moved to other venues to continue to abuse.
