A teenager and her parents have filed a $30 million lawsuit against a northern Virginia school system, saying the district failed to adequately investigate and tried to cover up herThe details of the 2021 assault — the attacker was wearing a skirt in a women’s bathroom — made it a flashpoint in the national debate over allowing transgender students to use bathrooms, play sports and go by names and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity.
The victim "struggled academically, emotionally and physically for the remainder of the school year" and she "continues to struggle significantly," according to the complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. A policy that expanded access for transgender students to school facilities was not in place at the time of the assault.
The reports from the grand jury and the law firm had both criticized the school system’s handling of the assaults. Following the May assault, the attacker was charged and barred by court order from returning to Stone Bridge. Administrators then transferred him to nearby Broad Run High School.
