A parent arrested during a June school board meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia, is accusing the district of attempting to cover up an alleged bathroom sexual assault by a gender-fluid individual against his daughter in order to advance the district's transgender rights agenda.

Scott Smith was found guilty in August of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after being filmed being dragged from a Loudoun County School Board meeting on June 22. According to Loudoun Now, he was sentenced to 10 days in jail, all suspended, contingent on a year of good behavior.


Smith's image went viral among some as an example of overbearing parents, and the National School Boards Association cited his arrest in a letter last week requesting federal law enforcement to respond to an increase in violence against school officials across the country. Later, Attorney General Merrick Garland promised that the Department of Justice and the FBI would look into harassment of school board members.

Smith now claims there's a lot more to his story, saying that his behavior at the June 22 meeting stemmed from an incident weeks earlier at his ninth-grade daughter's school, Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, where he claims a boy wearing a skirt entered the girls' bathroom and assaulted his daughter on May 28.
