The high school student who raped a female classmate in a Virginia high school bathroom last year has been sentenced to probation at a treatment facility, and required to register as a sex offender.
Judge Pamela Brooks, who sentenced the offender, said, ““Over the years this court has read many psychosexual reports, and when I read yours, frankly, it scared me. It scared me for you, it scared me for society.” The student wore a blouse and skirt into the girls bathroom where he raped his classmate. He will be in treatment until he is 18, when his future will be discussed in court.
The Loudon County school district has been the target of outrage over their treatment of this situation. They knew the rape had occurred but publicly denied it. In a May 28 email, Loudoun County superintendent Scott Ziegler alerted the school board that “a female student alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her in the restroom” that same day. However during a school board meeting, Ziegler claimed that “we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms” and that “the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist.”
