America First Legal has filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding Loudoun County Public Schools reveal what administrators knew — and when — about a student who identifies as transgender allegedly filming boys underneath bathroom stalls at Freedom High School for three years, targeting more than 40 victims.
“By all reports, there are over forty victims over the course of three years. It strains credulity to believe that LCPS is only now learning of this,” said Ian Prior, a Loudoun County father and senior counsel at America First Legal. “Given how committed that school system is to elevating the rights of ‘transgender’ students over everyone else, LCPS could be facing the mother of all Title IX lawsuits.”
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it has opened an investigation. LCPS said it is working with the sheriff’s office and takes the allegations “extremely seriously.” The school district stated there are “no reports that students involved in these incidents were in a restroom inconsistent with their biological sex”.
Loudoun County adopted Policy 8040 in 2021, allowing boys to access girls’ bathrooms and compete in girls’ sports if they claim to identify as girls. The policy has now been connected to three separate bathroom scandals. In 2021, a male student was found “not innocent” of forcible sodomy after assaulting a girl in a school bathroom. Last year, LCPS launched a Title IX investigation against boys who expressed surprise when a girl appeared in their locker room — the school ultimately settled with those boys in February 2026.
“LCPS’s Policy 8040 puts student privacy and safety at risk,” said Victoria Cobb of The Family Foundation. “It’s past time for the Department of Education and Department of Justice to intervene before more students are harmed.”
