In a case that has generated a political firestorm, a Virginia juvenile court judge found sufficient evidence during a trial Monday to sustain charges that a teen sexually assaulted a classmate in the girls bathroom of a Loudoun County high school in May.
The teenager, now 15, is also charged with the sexual assault of another student that occurred months later at a different Loudoun school. Loudoun County juvenile court Chief Judge Pamela L. Brooks said she would wait to sentence the teen until that case is decided in November.
The judges finding is the juvenile court equivalent of a guilty verdict in other courts.
The case generated local and national attention after the parents of the girl assaulted in May said the charged youth was gender fluid, prompting renewed backlash against a policy in Loudoun County schools that allows transgender students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity. That policy was adopted after the May assault.

This case is being used against transgender teens. It could as easily have happened if the teens were same sex. Think about it.

i have pointed out that schoolgurls are more likely to be raped by football players in the back seat than by transgenders in the ladies roon, but that does not matter to the school board screamers.
