Virginia Attorney General-Elect Jason Miyares to Investigate Loudoun County Public Schools

Virginia Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares (R) announced Thursday he plans to investigate sexual assault incidents in the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS).

Asked by a reporter at a press conference if he intends to investigate the sexual assault incidents reported in LCPS, Miyares responded immediately, “Yes.”

“We’re going to be seeking a legislative change,” he added, noting Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) has already indicated he would sign into law a bill that “would essentially say if the chief law enforcement officer in a jurisdiction, either the chief of police or the sheriff, makes a request because the commonwealth’s attorney is not doing their job, then I’m going to do their job for them.”

“And I’m thinking specifically of some of the so-called social justice commonwealth’s attorneys that have been elected, particularly in northern Virginia,” he asserted.
