High school wrestler was sexually assaulted by a trans opponent during match

Fingers crossed there are serious sanctions for teaching staff who can’t follow basic safeguarding practices.

An update.

“School officials have been charged with failing to report the alleged sexual assault of high school wrestler Kallie Keeler by a trans opponent. Principal Jason Smith and athletic coordinator Peter Collins failed to tell police about the assault for nearly two months, as we first reported in February.”

The issue is that the incident should have been reported straight away. It is not up to staff to decide whether an assault took place, that is safeguarding basics. It is up to police and investigating services to make that decision after investigation.

Quite.

I sincerely hope that NumbersGuy is rethinking his comments and will never post anything like that about a child again.

I doubt he's even reading responses. There's no point as far as he's concerned

I don't believe the point was to have a thoughtful and considered discussion. Sadly.

The girl tried to signal her distress to her mother. Which is a very natural thing to do when you are a girl being sexually assaulted with everyone watching and but don't know what to do.

It is absolutely vile to victim blame this girl. But it is also clear that a drive by misogyny event was due.

Also, didn't the girl mouth to her mother what was going on? Hardly something you'd do in the middle of a match for any reason other than asking for help

If you watch the footage the ref sees that his hand has gone to the privates of the female wrestler and he deliberately moves so that it is out of his eyeline.

When the people who should deal with things fail to, sometimes victims go to people they know will cause a stink. Even if that's "right wing nuts".

Don't know the org in question to have a clue whether the right wing nut allegation stands up or is mud flinging. If Trump supporting is enough to qualify as right wing nuts, there are an awful lot of them in the US. Like our own UK right wing in some recent elections, the right wing are managing to attract some votes from probably quite left wing voters with a common interest in nationalism. And in terms of gender politics really just capitalising on the opportunity presented by more left leaning parties' attachment to obviously batshit policies like allowing boys in girls martial arts.

The answer is the left wing parties and media seeing sense on sex and gender, not blaming girls for making a stink in the only way they can when they're treated badly and nobody else will listen.

Thank you for the rape myths Mrs Overton and for the reminder of that insane ideology Datun. Yet another reminder of what these men think of women. I sincerely hope that NumbersGuy is rethinking his comments and will never post anything like that about a child again. If only the right wing media is reporting this that’s a serious condemnation of the left wing media, not of the child who was assaulted.

Are we back to Sturdy Pyjamas?

People just love glossing over questioning anything because it was a trans wrestler

Nah mate, what men, like you, just love is glossing over the sexual assault of women and girls, in plain sight. Irrelevant numpty.

That's a very good reason why Numbersguy has no idea what it feels like for a woman to wear Lycra

It's typical transgenderism.

I'll see if I can dig it out, but I have a screenshot somewhere of a man saying it's impossible for tranwomen to commit rape, just because (they say) the power differential between transwomen and women means that they are always being oppressed, and therefore they can't ever do anything in a position of power, or some such absolute bullshit. So even if they have been proven to rape someone, it isn't rape. Or something

Numbersguy is just running true to form.

@NumbersGuy you do realise that digital penetration is perfectly possible through stretchy Lycra. Even through two layers of stretchy Lycra. She wasn’t wearing a chastity belt.

Wtf @NumbersGuy, you just not dismiss accusations of sexual assault of a child by that child just because the accused is transgender? Are you f*cking insane?

Sometimes I suppose we need to leave the words of a sex assault apologist on a thread just so that people can see just how vile they are.

But this is a useful link to counter even one man's view of sexual assault on women:

People just love glossing over questioning anything because it was a trans wrestler and love to pile on the child in question.

Very interesting wording here. Only the TIM is a "child", whereas the girl who was sexually assaulted is a lying, fame hungry harpy. This is low, even for you. Go to hell, and stay there @NumbersGuy !

Gosh…. A man makes excuses to dismiss the sexual assault of a female child.

You are using tribalism to dismiss the reporting of the incident, when it the person reporting is providing updates based on fact. She is reporting what the victim has said and the organisations and their responses. But hey, crack on in trying to dismiss this incident.

Let’s not forget that no male athletes should be competing in a female sports category…

Let’s not forget that this sport involves intimate touching.

No apparently, it is all dismissible because ‘right wing media’.

Let’s also blame the victim for not announcing to the world at the time while she is processing the horror of being penetrated, being a child!, that something was wrong !

This is red flag territory here.

Then this is vile to suggest that this child is using her sexual assault experience for fame. Fucking grim!!

I could not see how he would have been allowed to continue to compete with a law enforcement agency investigation ongoing. Sure there is innocent before being proven guilty, but this would be both leaving him open to further claims and negligent safeguarding by the organisers.

It is very upsetting that America, which has produced so many superb athletes, has fallen to this abhorrent level and now not only condones cheating, but also the sexual assaulting of a girl in the guise of it being ‘what happens in this sport’.

Good news , though it seems he withdrew himself.

🚨BREAKING: The biological boy accused of assaulting wrestler Kallie Keeler has just been REMOVED from the bracket for the state tournament. Unclear who made the call. He was replaced by the 8th place finisher from the qualifying tournament, an actual girl. HUGE VICTORY!

Sadly, here is another update.
