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.

'This is our city': Furious immigrants vow to 'defend' LA against Trump crackdown
Why you can trust Sky News The pop of flash bangs and the drawing of rubber bullet launchers by police sent protesters scattering down streets in downtown LA during a fourth day of demonstrations against Donald Trump's immigration policy. Dozens of National Guard - America's reserve force - carrying shields and long guns, created a perimeter around a federal building as protesters angrily shouted at them. "National Guard out of LA," they chanted, followed by a chorus of "shame, shame, shame". The arrival of National Guard troops on the streets, with a total of 4,000 now deployed by President Trump against the wishes of California governor Gavin Newsom, seems to have escalated tensions. Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass described her city as a "test case" for Trump usurping the authority of local governments. The news that 700 marines were also being mobilised, ready to deploy, was viewed by Democratic politicians as not just a gross overreaction to the situation but a cynical political ploy by the White House to stoke trouble. Trump says they are needed to restore law and order. Crowd control explosions were being deployed from the rooftops of the federal buildings towards protesters in a plaza below in a bid to disperse the crowd. Many of those gathering are first and second-generation immigrants, mostly from Central and South America. They are furious about the raids that took place last week. Dozens of immigrants were rounded up in LA's garment district, an area packed with clothing wholesalers. 2:18 Bryanna Ordonez, 17, was protesting with friends. Her dad was among the 44 people arrested in the raids. He'd lived here - illegally - for more than 10 years. "My father got deported on 6 June," she said, holding back tears. "I'm here protesting for him and two of my uncles that were deported. "Our parents worked so hard to get us here today just to be taken from us because they wanted us to have a better life. It's so unfair." Giovanni Garcia is from South Central LA. His mother emigrated from Mexico 26 years ago, but she only received her Green Card last year. "Everyone says LA is an immigrant city, and it is," says Giovanni. "You go to Chinese restaurants, they have Hispanic workers in the back. "You know, you go to the clothing companies, they have Hispanics working. Like, this is our city, and we have to stand here and defend it." 👉 Follow Trump100 on your podcast app 👈 As dusk fell, the crowds thinned on the streets. A remaining hardcore of demonstrators were backed into a corner of downtown LA known as Little Tokyo. As night fell, an hours-long standoff between police and protesters took place next to a pagoda and with the backdrop of a giant mural of LA Dodgers baseball star Shohei Ohtani, before, eventually, a number of them were arrested. LA is a city known for sporting prowess, multiculturalism and a long history of resistance movements - the immigration protests of 2025 now among them.

Another Aussie reporter caught in the firing line of cops as ABC star reveals how she was tear-gassed during LA riots
An Australian news reporter has spoken out on the terrifying moment she was tear-gassed while covering the Los Angeles riots. ABC's North America correspondent Lauren Day was reporting on the immigration protests, in California 's biggest city on Monday evening, when she was engulfed in the non-lethal chemical weapon. Day explained the police had been attempting to disperse demonstrators when she and her team were hit with the 'unpleasant' substance. 'This is really an example of just how quickly things can escalate after a long standoff with protestors police have now started to disperse the crowds, including with tear-gas,' she told ABC News. 'We got hit and you can see why it's called tear-gas it burns your eyes, burns your nose, your lips, your throat.' 'It's pretty unpleasant I've got to say.' The terrifying moment comes after Channel Nine's Lauren Tomasi was shot with a rubber bullet fired by a police officer. Tomasi had been telling viewers that 'the LAPD are moving in on horseback and firing rubber bullets at protesters' when the shocking incident unfolded live on air. The US correspondent for Nine said police were 'moving them (protesters) on through the heart of LA' while several loud bangs could be heard in the distance. Moments later a policeman was seen turning his gun towards Tomasi. A cloud of smoke appeared and she doubled over in pain. 'You just f***ing shot a reporter,' a protester yelled at nearby police as several other protesters stopped to ask the journalist if she was okay. Tomasi could be heard yelling back: 'I'm good, I'm good', and Nine confirmed the reporter was 'left sore but otherwise unharmed' by the close-range shot. Breaking her silence on the incident, Tomasi later told viewers: 'I'm okay. My cameraman Jimmy and I are both safe. 'This is just one of the unfortunate realities of reporting on these kinds of incidents.' Impressively, a professional Tomasi went on to give an updated report on the unfolding events in the city. 'It has been a really volatile day on the streets of Los Angeles, and I do want to show you the scene here tonight,' she told Nine News. Tomasi revealed she was in downtown Los Angeles, an area that had been cleared out by police. A warning has been issued that 'if anyone moves through here, they will be arrested on the spot'. 'There has been a lot of tempers flaring here today and certainly tonight there is a lot of anger in the city of angels,' she added. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the 'horrific' attack on Tomasi and said footage of the incident showed police had 'identified' the reporter. 'It is not acceptable… I respect the role that the media play, and people should respect the role that the media play in our modern society,' he said at his first National Press Club since his re-election in May. Albanese said he had 'already raised these issues with the US administration' but did not confirm whether he had personally spoken with President Donald Trump. Protesters in the city are marching against Trump's crackdown on illegal migrants and raids by ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Horrifying scenes showed cars erupting into flames and emitting toxic gases as rioters chained themselves to furniture and created blockades to grind downtown Los Angeles to a complete halt as violence stretched into a fourth day. Trump sent in 2,000 National Guard troops and placed 500 Marines on standby, while the LAPD has authorized the 'use of less lethal munitions' to regain control of the city. The conflict has sparked a war of words between Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused him of intentionally inflaming tensions.

Third Chinese scientist arrested after smuggling ‘biological pathogens' into US from Wuhan after ‘agroterrorism' probe
A THIRD Chinese scientist has been charged for allegedly smuggling "biological material" into the United States. It is the second such case within a matter of days after a University of Michigan researcher and her boyfriend were charged for allegedly bringing a toxic fungus into the country. 5 5 5 In the latest case, Han Chengxuan was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Sunday. Cops claim she sent four packages from China to the States that contained "biological material related to round worms". These packages were sent to people linked to the University of Michigan lab between September 2024 and March 2025. Han has been charged with smuggling goods into the United States. She initially denied sending the parcels at all, court documents claim. Han would then insist they contained plastic cups rather the petri dishes before ultimately admitting to sending the samples, the documents add. They had reportedly been collected during her PhD research in the Chinese city of Wuhan. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X: "Han is alleged to have sent four packages to the U.S. from China containing a biological material related to round worms — addressed to individuals associated with a lab at the University of Michigan. "Upon arriving at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on June 8, Han allegedly made false statements to federal officials regarding the packages she had previously mailed — and had erased her electronic device just days prior. "In a follow up interview with FBI and ICE HSI agents, Han admitted to sending the packages and lying about their contents. China floods sea bases with nuke bombers, terrifying satellite pics show - as US warns Xi could SEIZE Taiwanese islands "This case is part of a broader effort from the FBI and our federal partners to heavily crack down on similar pathogeon smuggling operations, as the CCP works relentlessly to undermine America's research institutions." It comes after two other Chinese scientists were charged last week for allegedly trying to smuggle a toxic fungus into the States. Researchers Jian Yunqing, 33, and Liu Zunyong, 34 are facing charges of smuggling goods, conspiracy, visa fraud and providing false statements. They are alleged to have tried to bring Fusarium graminearum into the country - which can cause severe damage to livestock and crops. 5 5 Authorities claim the fungus could be used as a "potential agroterrorism weapon". Prosecutors say Liu attempted to smuggle it through Detroit Airport so it could be studied at a University of Michigan laboratory. Jian, who is Liu's girlfriend, worked at the lab according to prosecutors. The university did not have the necessary federal permits to handle this pathogen. A statement from the university says the institution has not had "funding from the Chinese government in relation to research conducted by the accused individuals". Officials further allege that Jian is a Chinese Communist Party member, and that her research on the fungus in China got Chinese government funding. Liu allegedly lied about trying to bring the pathogen into the country in July 2024 before later admitting it. While Jian has been arrested in the US, Liu was sent back to China at the airport - so his arrest is unlikely unless he returns. Following Jian's arrest, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X: "This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences... putting American lives and our economy at serious risk." Who are Jian Yunqing and Liu Zunyong? Jian Yunqing and Liu Zunyong are alleged to have smuggled a toxic fungus into the United States. Prosecutors claim Liu had attempted to bring the pathogen into the country through Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Officials claim the intention was to smuggle the fungus in to be studied at a University of Michigan lab - where Liu's girlfriend Jian worked. It is further alleged that Jian received Chinese government funding for her research on the fungus in China. She has since been arrested, but Liu's detention is unlikely unless he returns to the States as there is no extradition agreement between the US and China. According to the FBI, Fusarium graminearum is a "potential agroterrorism weapon" that can cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock.
