Loudoun County School Board Faces $30M Lawsuit Over Student's Rape

The family of a teenage girl who was raped in a high school bathroom is suing Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia for $30 million, alleging that the school district failed to adequately investigate and attempted to cover up the sexual assault. The lawsuit claims that the district lied to the public to advance its controversial transgender bathroom policy. The attacker, who was charged and barred from returning to the school, was later transferred to another school in the district where he sexually assaulted another girl. A grand jury report criticized the district for its handling of the assaults, and the former superintendent was fired after being found guilty of retaliatory firing. The U.S. Department of Education has opened an investigation into the district's handling of the sexual assaults.
