The safety of our students and staff is the top priority of Loudoun County Public Schools.Scott Smith, the parent of the victim, previously told The Daily Wire that he was aghast to find the incident being handled only by people who worked at the school full-time \u2014 with the SRO seeming to take direction from the principal \u2014 rather than a team of police officers one would expect to find processing a major crime scene. He became irate.He said that police responded to deal with complaints about him making a scene in the office, not to the rape allegations. Once on the scene, he said, the team of police eventually became persuaded that what had occurred was a serious incident that required their attention, and escorted his family to the hospital where a rape kit was administered.Smith said he did not believe a rape kit would have been administered based on the laid-back way administrators and the SRO appeared to be handling it on their own. The county\u2019s prosecutor later said that the case relied on DNA evidence, suggesting that if a rape kit had not been conducted that day, no substantiated rape would have likely been added to Stone Bridge\u2019s books.Loudoun County Sheriff\u2019s Office dispatch logsIn addition to Principal Flynn\u2019s email which made no mention of a rape, Loudoun\u2019s superintendent, Scott Zeigler, went on to tell the school board at a June 22 board meeting that he had no record of sexual assaults in bathrooms. The school system also reported on required statistics to the state of Virginia that it had zero sexual assault incidents in the school that year.Zeigler later said he misunderstood the question in the school board meeting, and apologized for an \u201cerror\u201d in reporting to the state.The sheriff\u2019s office previously told The Daily Wire there were no 911 calls from the school, but has now produced \u201cdispatch\u201d logs that include radio calls.The calls also show that at 7:21 pm, the FBI called and \u201casked about the incident at Stone Bridge HS,\u201d which was \u201cfound through prior calls.\u201d Once the agent was advised that \u201cit was a sexual assault investigation,\u201d the agent said it \u201cwould not require their help.\u201dSmith was arrested at a June 22 school board meeting where he became angry again after Zeigler\u2019s misleading statement. That arrest led to Smith being included in a letter, by the National School Boards Association, that talked about angry attendees at school board meetings, as well as a response by Attorney General Merrick Garland that suggested the FBI could have a hand in dealing with such matters.The suspect in the alleged rape was transferred to a different school, where he was arrested for an alleged in-classroom sexual assault on another girl October 6.Want more exclusive Daily Wire investigations?\u00a0Become a member.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
