🛑oh, yes the Fairfax Schools 🌟 lawyer who tried to delegitimize my rape kit— let me tell you more about him and his “career path” 🛑 I was 12 when I received my rape kit and SANE nurses concluded my injuries were consistent of rape. Mr. Elliker asked questions during my trial about

Various forms of sexual violence in FCPS persist, despite denial and cover-ups. Another disturbing instance from a Langley High School coach soliciting a minor in Maryland. This raises red flags about potential harm to other children and calls for a thorough investigation into

FCPS has a larger systemic issue of sexual violence and enabling predators. Anytime sexual violence is brought to the attention of the school district, they try to hide it from the public and if they find out FCPS appears to minimize the “damage” in hopes it is forgotten. The

She is entirely right. This isn’t even about her. It’s about sending a message that if you challenge FCPS ever, there are consequences.

This is, in my opinion, overt First Amendment retaliation—a slippery slope. From the tragic price of assassination (political violence is an assault on democracy) to attempted financial ruin here, the thread is the same: silence the truth-tellers. It’s disgusting. It’s abuse.

🚨 Tomorrow at 10AM, FCPS drags me back to federal court for $250K. Because apparently a $4B institution needs a victory lap for outspending a 12-year-old child-sex-abuse survivor with taxpayer dollars. Bravo. Amazing what “inspirational” litigation tactics you get from a

Wow. This is such a low for Fairfax. A child sex abuse victim going to the beach for the DAY means she should pay a $4 billion institution $250K? This is just a blatant abuse of the system and process.

🚨 FCPS takes “guardianship” of your taxpayer dollars so seriously that… ➡️ They’ve burned ~$14 MILLION fighting me in court. ➡️ They told reporter Nick Minock he’d have to pay $1,700 just to FOIA the invoices. Why not just be transparent? ➡️ Those same attorney invoices in

🚨If your name isn’t John Foster, an FCPS board member, Michelle Reid, or an attorney from Hunton Andrews / King & Spalding / Blankingship—you’re automatically a liar, right? But if you are one of them, you’re suddenly “credible.” Please. The gaslighting is pathological. FCPS

Give them shovels! At least then they’d clear something. Shoveling is honest work (especially, for Sona Rewari, Ryan Bates, and Kevin Elliker). Right now FCPS is too busy funding Hunton Andrews to argue in that a 12-year-old can “consent” to rape and that previously schools
