Loudoun's schools had a “stunning lack” of transparency around the bathroom rape & “intentional amnesia” when testifying about it, a grand jury said today, adding that it might've indicted LCPS' lawyer for witness tampering if such a law existed in VA.

Days before the rape, a teacher's aide wrote to the department chair that he “has come into class more than once with his arm around a girl’s neck. I have caught him sitting on other girls’ laps several times … I wouldn’t want to be held accountable if someone should get hurt.”

But school officials seemed to accuse the teacher's aide of transphobia against the skirt-wearing boy. Her boss "questioned [her] true motivation" and an assistant principal “questioned whether the author of the email had followed proper protocol.” Days later, he raped.

During the rape itself, another teacher's aide walked in to the bathroom and saw that two students were in a stall together, but did nothing. According to the report, the girl was lying on the bathroom floor while the skirt-wearing boy stood over her.

As previously reported, the victim's father came to the school and they called the police on HIM and offered counseling to any students who had to watch the police, and sent an email to parents saying the only threat on campus that day was an angry father. What we didn't know:

The email (attributed to the principal) was written by LCPS' press secretary and edited by the superintendent. And THE RAPIST WAS ON THE LOOSE THE WHOLE TIME, for hours. They discussed a restraining order against victim's dad when the rapist was literally “missing and at-large.”

The chief operating officer arrived at the scene and immediately wrote that “The incident at SBHS is related to Policy 8040,” which is the policy that the superintendent and school board were attempting to pass dealing with transgender student bathroom use.

A month later the victim's dad was arrested at the school board meeting where 8040 was being debated, enraged after the superintendent said there had *never been any bathroom assaults.* He later claimed he thought the question meant "related to 8040"-but that would still be a lie

LCPS never disciplined the rapist. A judge ordered him not to return to the same school or use computers. Prosecutor Buta Biberaj, who was seeking jail time against the victim's father for a misdemeanor, never told the school, and it didn't transfer him until the new year started

Within his first weeks at the new school year, it caught the student (then wearing an ankle bracelet for rape charges) committing multiple incidents of sexually depraved or offensive behavior, which the superintendent knew about. They just had him write this:

Days later he “snatched an unassuming female out of the hallway, abducted her into an empty classroom, nearly asphyxiated her, and sexually assaulted her." That victim told a cop instead of principal & appears to have THOUGHT THE PRINCIPAL WOULD LECTURE HER FOR NOT WEARING A MASK

The report found that Superintendent' Ziegler's misrepresentations and concealment were so extensive that even the school board did not know about it until I broke the story. The communications director ordered staff to ignore my inquiry, the grand jury found.

“We were met with obfuscation [and] legal strategies designed to frustrate the special grand jury’s work,” the jury said. Everyone was pushed to use the school district's lawyer, who tried to stop them from saying anything. When one teacher refused, he claimed to rep her anyway.

School board members "parroted" a line to the grand jury-seemingly coordinated by the lawyer-that sought to justify the super's lie by making a false claim about the victim's dad, it said. What they didn't know is that 1 official who DIDN'T use that lawyer had told them the truth

There's much more in the story. It's behind a paywall, but as the 91-page grand jury report says, no one--even school board members--would know about this if it weren't for @realDailyWire. If that kind of thing is important to you, consider subscribing.
