The Republican candidate in Virginia’s gubernatorial election has called for an immediate investigation into a claimed coverup of alleged sexual assaults that took place earlier this year at schools in one of the state’s most populous counties.
“A young girl was sexually assaulted in her school, and the administrators, those who were trusted with not only her education but her safety, tried to cover it up,” Glenn Youngkin told supporters in Burke on Oct. 19. “And they quietly moved the offender, an offender being prosecuted for sexual assault, to another school, where he was able to do it again. Two young girls have been sexually assaulted because our system, our system failed to protect them.”
