Virginia Governor Pardons Father of Student Who Was Sexually Assaulted

🏛️Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) announced on Sunday that he was pardoning a father who had been arrested at a school board meeting.

Youngkin explained during an interview on FOX News Sunday with host Shannon Bream – which airs originally on FOX Broadcast – that he was pardoning Scott Smith, who had been arrested in 2021 after demanding answers at a Loudoun County School Board meeting about his daughter’s 🚨Sexual Assault.

Smith’s daughter was raped in the bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt who had been allowed to use the girl’s restroom.

“We are in contact with him. In fact, I spoke with Mr. Smith on Friday,” Youngkin told Bream in response to her asking if he was corresponding with Smith. “And, I had the privilege of telling Mr. Smith that I would pardon him.”

“We righted a wrong. He should have never been prosecuted here,” Youngkin explained. “This was a dad standing up for his daughter. Just to remind everyone, his daughter had been sexually assaulted in the bathroom of a school and no one was doing anything about it.”

Smith was charged with obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct.
