Virginia family sues school system for $30 million over student’s sexual assault in bathroom

A teenager and her parents have filed a $30 million lawsuit against a Virginia school system, alleging that the district failed to properly investigate and cover up her sexual assault by a male student in a high school bathroom. The incident, which occurred in 2021, sparked a national debate about transgender students’ rights. However, documents filed with the lawsuit suggest that the attacker’s gender identity had little to do with the assaults.
