This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match.
Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong.
Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety. 🧵⬇️
Our lawsuit seeks accountability for what happened to 15-year-old Kallie Keeler on December 6, 2025—and the callous indifference displayed by officials since then.
We’re also seeking an injunction to ensure it never happens again. 2/
The story is deeply troubling. Our complaint lays out the details of the assault. 3/
As our complaint explains, this kind of contact does not happen by accident. This was sexual assault.
In her 12 years of wrestling, Kallie had never experienced anything like it. It left her shaken and crying. 4/
But things were about to get still worse.
The first shock came when Kallie learned that the wrestler who had sexually assaulted her was a male.
Besides the violation, she now felt betrayed by the adults who had allowed her to unknowingly wrestle a boy. 5/
The second shock unfolded slowly, as the district quietly abandoned Kallie.
Her mom reported the assault the next school day. Officials should have reported it to the Title IX coordinator immediately and law enforcement within 48 hours.
Instead they did nothing—for 53 days. 6/
Frustrated by the district’s failure to act—and its continued endangerment of female wrestlers—Kallie and her mom finally told the story to WA-based journalist @BrandiKruse.
That media inquiry prompted the district to report the incident for the first time, the very next day. 7/
Sadly, the media attention also caused harassment & bullying for Kallie at school.
School officials have been unsympathetic and unsupportive.
Because she can no longer trust them to protect her, Kallie has now quit wrestling—a sport she’s loved since she was 4 years old. 8/
Kallie’s story exposes a grim reality about the political and academic establishment in WA.
From the highest level to the lowest, officials have displayed a knowing, callous disregard for the safety and equal opportunity of girls.
It’s unlawful—and they must answer for it. 9/
We’re suing these officials for violating Kallie’s Title IX right to be protected from sex-based discrimination, and her 14th Amendment right to equal protection.
We’re also suing them for violating her mom’s parental rights, citing the recent SCOTUS ruling in Mirabelli. 10/
The bottom line is that Washington state is committed to a lie: the notion that boys can become girls.
And lies hurt people—in this case, girls.
It’s time for the harm to stop. We look forward to representing Kallie and her mom in court. /🧵
