A family in Washington state has filed a lawsuit against multiple government parties, alleging their daughter was sexually assaulted by a biological male trans athlete during a girls’ wrestling match. The defendants include Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykda, and the Puyallup School District and multiple school employees.
Allegations and Lawsuit
The plaintiff in the lawsuit, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), is only listed as K.M.K., but is believed to be Washington state high school student Kallie Keeler, who spoke about the incident of being allegedly sexually assaulted by the trans athlete during a wrestling match on ‘The Brandi Kruse Show’ earlier this year in February.
A 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted because of political cowardice. Washington state officials insist on pushing gender ideology at all costs—even at the expense of girls’ safety and privacy, said ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson in a statement.
The core argument in the ADF lawsuit is that Washington state education officials, the WIAA, and Puyallup School District allegedly violated K.M.K.’s rights by enforcing policies that allow male athletes who identify as female to compete in girls sports without notice to female athletes or their parents.
Response and Investigation
The U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into the Puyallup School District in February over the allegations. The allegations in this case are sickening—that a female athlete was not only unknowingly forced to compete against a male in a girls-only division placing her at increased risk for sexual assault, but that her report of sexual assault during the match was ignored by Puyallup School District for months, said Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey.
Puyallup School District issued a statement saying they are aware of the allegations and are reviewing the matter, but cannot comment further due to student privacy considerations and anticipated litigation.
