It’s true the Daily Wire blew that part of the story. A bad oversight, but the actual fact is kind of tangential to the conflict between the parents and the school board.
I don't think those details came out until the actual trial; so I'm not quite so sure the Daily Wire could have gotten all of that. But, I could be wrong.
More annoying is that those on the Left who for years have been saying "believe all women" but now that there *may* be a bit of nuance, they're ready to victim blame.
As a father of teenage girls in the Virginia school system, if my daughter comes home saying she said no, then no means "NO!!" end of story.
Also, just want to reiterate my appreciation for your on-the-ground journalism. Thank God it's not completely dead in this country.
I agree that the cover-up (and in my case as a Virginian, the lack of investigation at the state level once the cover-up was discovered) was certainly egregious.
I am sure I am not alone when, during the course of events (and the past 2 years of "Defund the Police" etc) that Democrats were on the side of criminals. I have no idea WHY, exactly, but those are the cards they are playing.
Obviously, the political fallout couldn't be plainer. Due to Democrat policies (and inaction) - if you want your kid protected, vote Republican. Obviously, I wasn't the only one to feel that way.
If the Democrats want any hope of not losing 60 seats in the House in a year, they better do a 180 on that idea, or other states are going to feel the same way.
As to the nuance of consensual vs. non consensual - it is secondary in many circumstances, but not here, not for that girl and her family. Besides, the he said/she said kind of blows up when you consider he *did it again in another school*.
Sides, with the girl in question, it sounds to me like she was okay with certain things (who knows, kissing? some other handsy stuff that kids shouldn't be doing in bathrooms regardless?) - and when the girl said "NO!" he kept on. A rape kit was used after the fact. The girl was obviously in a different situation than the "two prior times".
AFAIC, there was no "he said/she said" in this at all. There was incontrovertible PROOF.
But the 2nd girl he attacked was just a fluke? Most people aren't accused twice for the same crime. He is. He's been convicted of the 1st.

Just imagine if the kid doing the raping was an open Trump supporter.
For me the coverup and the media and justice department going after righteously indignant Dad is the story.
The nuance of non consensual vs consensual sex is a secondary issue/detail that boils down to he said/she said.

it's also possible they had consensual sex twice and then he raped her.
Absolutely. I thought we'd established that years ago. But maybe not?
If you're not for Joe Biden, you ain't been raped.
Most people aren't accused twice for the same crime for no reason. An edit feature would be great.
Accused 2x for the same crime-just ask what happens if a cop gets acquitted by a state jury in a use of force case…..
