Virginia’s newly-elected Attorney General Jason Miyares on Thursday said that he plans to investigate the alleged sexual assaults in Loudoun County Public Schools and will develop new legislation granting his office the power to intervene when prosecutors are not doing an adequate job.

Speaking at a press conference alongside Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman just two days after the election, Miyares responded with a simple “yes” when asked by a reporter if he plans to investigate the sexual assault issue in Loudoun County Public Schools.
