Trans student faces instant karma after filming 'sexual harassment' in the boys' locker room
A transgender student filmed three boys in a Virginia high school locker room who he claimed were bullying him for his gender identity.
But his attempt to ostracize them backfired when parents of the accused tormenters and the state's governor questioned why the three boys were being filmed inside the locker room in the first place.
Earlier this month, Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) launched a Title IX investigation after the trans student recorded a friend group that was uncomfortable with a biological female being in the changing room.
Stone Bridge High School, where the video was taken, is probing the incident as a sexual harassment case.
The video, obtained exclusively by ABC 7 on Friday, reveals what truly transpired in the locker room.
The families of the teens accused of harassment were allegedly denied copies of the footage at first.
As the video depicts, the transgender boy seemingly walks into the locker room with his phone in his pocket, sparking a reaction from the teens inside, prompting them to speak among themselves.
'There's a girl in here? There's a girl?' one boy is heard asking.
About 30 seconds later, another boy adds, 'Why is there a girl? I'm so uncomfortable there is a girl.'
'A female, bro, get out of here,' someone says.
Then, the trans takes his phone out of his pocket and point it directly at the students who were making the comments.
Parents were finally able to obtain the video through the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), which has the video because officers are investigating if the trans student committed a crime by recording minors in the dressing room.
LCPS explicitly bans locker room recordings, but in an email to Wolfe, a representative allegedly told him the video did not compromise anyone's privacy.
The parents have questioned why the student behind the camera is not being penalized for violating their privacy.
'I have a daughter that's in high school as well, and if there was a male in there videotaping her in the locker room, I would have issues,' Seth Wolfe, a father of one of the accused, told ABC 7.
'If it's my son and there's a female in the locker room videotaping, I have issues. Even if it was somebody of the same sex, I believe that this is an invasion of their privacy.'
Wolfe also claimed the LCPS investigator tried to grill his son into confession to something he did not do.
'They didn't show us the video until after they had tried to get my son to say who said what and all this kind of stuff,' Wolfe told the outlet.
'But then once we saw the video, then we started asking about those context questions and how that can be left out. And they didn't really have a good answer for that.'
'I don't even think the Title IX investigation is justified,' Renae Smith, another boy's mothers, told ABC 7.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has released a statement expressing 'outrage' over reports that LCPS is investigating the three male students.
'It's deeply concerning to read reports of yet another incident in Loudoun County schools where members of the opposite sex are violating the privacy of students in locker rooms,' Youngkin said.
'Even more alarming, the victims of this violation are the ones being investigated - this is beyond belief.'
He asked Attorney General Jason Miyares to look into the situation.
A lawyer hired to represent the three boys, Josh Hetzler, told NBC4 these kinds of allegations can be detrimental to the futures of young men.
'These have a way of really stigmatizing them, especially when they're unfounded like this one,' he told the outlet.
The latest to break their silence on the matter is Pastor Gary Hamrick of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg.
'Enough is enough,' he said, addressing thousands of service attendees on Sunday.
He urged congregants to show support for the boys' families and attend school board hearings about the sexual harassment case.
LCPS previously told DailyMail.com that allegations aired in the media are 'false', but said due to their ongoing investigation they could not clarify which points were incorrect.
'To be absolutely clear: Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) would not investigate or discipline students based on their personal opinions, thoughts, or beliefs, provided those expressions do not violate policies prohibiting hate speech, discriminatory language, threats, or other forms of harmful or disruptive conduct,' the school said in a statement.
'However, LCPS does investigate and may take disciplinary action when student behavior violates LCPS' Student Rights & Responsibilities Handbook for Families and Student Code of Conduct.
'Because this matter could result in discipline, LCPS will not discuss the specifics of the incident publicly.
'Student privacy is a fundamental right protected by both policy and law, and LCPS is firmly committed to upholding that principle without exception.
'Our decision not to comment on the matter should not be taken as license for any news organization to determine what the facts are without verification.'
LCPS' policy allows trans students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their identities.
But a board member, Deana Griffiths, told ABC 7 changes must be made to the rules to ensure all children feel safe and protected in schools.
She said this problem stemmed from even creating an environment where biological males and females could share the same vulnerable spaces.
'What we are seeing and will continue to see, are the consequences of policies that have introduced confusion and conflict into spaces that were once clear and safe—especially for young children,' she wrote.
'The truth is, many of these issues would never have arisen if we had upheld the basic principle that boys and girls are biologically different.'
Miyares' office is investigating the Title IX case at Stone Bridge High School.
The US Department of Education is investigating LCPS and four other Virginia school districts for their policies allowing students to use private spaces based on identity not biological sex.

YouTuber Finny Da Legend named as Las Vegas shooting victim killed on livestream after 2 shot dead near Bellagio casino
A YOUTUBER has been named as a victim in a Las Vegas shooting that saw two people killed. Finny Da Legend was shot dead near the famous Bellagio hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip on Sunday night. 2 2 Another victim, believed to be Finny's partner, was also killed in the shooting, as reported by the Fox affiliate KVVU-TV. Finny, who had more than 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, was live streaming when a man, another content creator, came up to him. At least seven shots were fired in footage shared online. Finny's partner could be heard screaming after the shots, yelling, "Are you f**king kidding me?" before the camera was thrown to the ground. Tributes have been paid to the content creator. Devastated pal Derek Ware described Finny as a "good father" and a "friendly guy." "If something was wrong, he would just always check up on me," he told KVVU-TV. "He's donated to people that needed help online." Ware revealed Finny's partner was known as Bubbly and paid tribute to her "infectious" personality. "She would have fun everywhere she went," he said. Cops revealed that the shooter and one of the victims had an argument on social media before the horror unfolded. Manuel Ruiz, 41, turned himself into police hours after shots were fired on the Las Vegas Strip. "At this point, we believe we have the suspect identified and that this is an isolated incident, knowing that the suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms," cops said at the time. The Bellagio is a luxury five-star resort on the Strip and is known for the famous Fountains of Bellagio attraction. The shooting comes almost eight years after 60 people were killed when Stephen Paddock opened fire at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip. He fired more than 1,000 rounds from his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. More than 800 people were injured.

Trump sends 700 Marines & another 2k National Guard to riot-ravaged LA as chaos spreads with arrests in NYC & Texas
DONALD Trump is sending 700 Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to defend the city from immigration raid riots. Violent protests have continued to spread across the US over the past 24 hours with lawless demonstrators arrested in California, New York and Texas. 5 5 5 5 The City of Angels has been engulfed in anarchy over the past four days as rioters have burned cars and battled with cops. On Monday, the issues continued across LA with dozens of arrests made as police and rioters clashed once more. The scenes of violence which sparked on Sunday night were toned down on Monday despite the continued issues. Police were again struck by fireworks and forced to deploy tear gas and pepper gas on incoming demonstrators. Buses were even used to load up those detained and ship them off to police stations for the evening. A defiant Trump is still hoping for a quick end to the protests so he can enforce his immigration policy. It comes as the President also issued a searing warning to Gavin Newsom and called for the California Governor's arrest. The President has claimed LA - a sanctuary city - has now been "invaded" by illegal immigrants. He raged "If they spit, we'll hit" after reports of masked rioters spitting in the face of cops emerged. Trump said: "I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before." His latest call has seen the US Marines drafted in to help restore order. They will be tasked with protecting federal property and federal personnel, according to Fox News. And another 2,000 National Guard troops will be deployed across the city after Trump already ordered 1,000 members to defend the city. The decision to bolster up LA's police force was widely criticized by California's leadership. Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass insisted the federal troops only escalated the peaceful protests into riots on Sunday night. The Governor even shot back against Trump saying: "This isn't about public safety. It's about stroking a dangerous President's ego." California then officially sued the Trump administration to try and stop more federal troops being sent. Trump lashed out at Newsom in response and told reporters he agreed with border czar Tom Homan that the Governor should be arrested because he's "grossly incompetent." Newsom fired back on X, slamming Trump's threat as "an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism." Homan said there are no official plans to arrest Newsom. The exchange came hours after Trump said Newsom and Bass should thank him because the city would be "completely obliterated" if he hadn't mobilized the Guard. Rioters looted shops, set self-driving Waymo cars on fire, and blocked off the 101 Freeway on Sunday night. Cops used flash-bang explosives and pepper balls to push back the protesters, even shooting a TV reporter with rubber bullets live on air at the terrifying scene. 5 By What is the US National Guard? THE US National Guard is a reserve military force made up of part-time service members who typically hold civilian jobs but can be activated for federal or state duty. Each state, territory, and the District of Columbia has its own National Guard, which can be mobilized by the state governor or the President. Can the President call the National Guard for local matters? Yes, but with limits. Normally, governors deploy their state's National Guard to handle local emergencies like natural disasters, protests, or civil unrest. The President can federalize the National Guard under specific laws, such as the Insurrection Act. This allows them to respond to domestic unrest if it's deemed beyond the capacity of local or state authorities. When federalized, National Guard troops operate under presidential command rather than the governor's. While it's unusual, a president can deploy the National Guard into a state without a governor's consent if certain legal thresholds are met. These typically involve threats to federal property, national security, or widespread breakdowns in public order. However, such actions are often politically and legally controversial. 9th Jun 2025, 07:13 By Georgie English Trump vs California Despite the carnage flooding the streets, California's government has said they have the situation under control. Governor Gavin Newsom even accused Trump of "inflaming tensions" by deploying the National Guard. The pair have a long history of heated disputes over policy. Newsom formerly requested Trump remove the guard members, which he called a "serious breach of state sovereignty". Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass added the arrival of troops is a "dangerous escalation". She said: "We do not want to play in to the [Trump] administration's hands." "What we're seeing in Los Angeles is chaos provoked by the administration." Trump fired back at California's government as he called them "incompetent". Newsom and Trump reportedly spoke for 40 minutes by phone on Saturday, though details of their conversation have not been disclosed. The deployment of troops marks the first time in six decades that a state's National Guard was activated without a request from its governor, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
