A special grand jury report about the handling of two sexual assault cases that occurred in Loudoun County Public Schools last year says at least one of the assaults could have been prevented if not for the actions of administrators.
The report released Monday offers a look into the work of a special grand jury impaneled by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and directly alleges that the sexual assault of a female student at Broad Run High School in October 2021 by a male student should have been prevented. The assailant had previously committed an assault while a student at Stone Bridge High School five months before.
After the victim's father was removed from the school grounds, and while the school still had yet to locate the student who had committed the assault, the report said Timothy Flynn, the principal of the high school, contacted the district superintendent's office seeking a"no trespass letter" against the father, who he said"probably should have been arrested."
The lack of cooperation with the grand jury's investigation by Loudoun County Public Schools included a lawsuit from the school district seeking to declare the grand jury unlawfully established and have its investigation into the school district shut down. The district's refusal to cooperate with the investigation earned it a dedicated section in the lengthy report.
