上海一男子与人吵架后心脏病发作猝死，法院判了

11/10/2021

　　男子因停车与人吵架后心脏病发作猝死，其亲属将吵架对象诉至法院，索赔90万余元。

　　11月10日，澎湃新闻记者从上海市奉贤区人民法院（以下简称“上海奉贤法院”）获悉，该院审结了这起案件，判决被告不应对该男子的死亡承担侵权责任。目前，该判决已生效。

　　上海奉贤法院介绍，王某和荀某均为奉贤某社区居民。2020年11月28日早晨，王某将车辆停放在该社区弄堂门口。考虑到弄堂为附近居民出行的重要通道，且也是社区消防取水点，荀某遂上前劝阻，争吵随之发生。

　　事后，王某将车辆挪走。当天上午8时40分左右，荀某路过王某家门口时，双方因停车事宜再次发生口角，王某被路过的案外人黄某劝回屋内。

　　几分钟后，王某身体突发不适倒地，黄某随即拨打急救电话。后王某经抢救无效，于当天上午10时45分死亡。经鉴定，王某直接死亡原因为猝死，促进死亡原因系冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病。

　　王某家属认为，荀某与王某争吵直接导致王某心脏病发作猝死，应对王某的死亡承担50%的赔偿责任。由于双方就赔偿事宜多次协商未果，王某近亲属将荀某起诉至上海奉贤法院，要求荀某赔偿相关医疗费、赡养费、抚养费等90万余元。

　　上海奉贤法院经审理认为，民事诉讼中，当事人对自己提出的诉讼请求所依据的事实或反驳对方诉讼请求所依据的事实，应当提供证据加以证明。本案中，原告主张被告承担侵权责任，应举证证明被告主观上存在过错，客观上实施了侵权行为，且行为与损害后果之间具有因果关系。

　　从庭审查明的事实看，死者王某车辆停放的位置确实阻碍了弄堂的通行，被告作为附近居民对其进行劝阻，行为并无不当。即便双方为此发生口角，持续时间也很短，过程中未发生任何肢体冲突，被告的劝阻行为未超出必要限度。

　　法院认为，王某生前患有冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病，在未能控制自身情绪的情况下，诱发心脏病不幸死亡。虽然从时间上看，被告的劝阻行为与王某的死亡后果是先后发生的，但两者之间不存在法律上的因果关系，被告也没有侵害王某生命权的主观故意或过失。因此，被告不应对王某死亡承担侵权责任。

　　最终，上海奉贤法院驳回了原告的诉讼请求。

　　判决后，王某一方上诉。上海一中院认为，虽然鉴于王某本身的心脏病史，不排除其与荀某之间的口头争执可能成为心脏病发作的诱因条件。但考虑到王某不足四十岁，普通人难以预见与其发生口头争执可能导致其猝死的严重后果。反观王某，其明知自身有心脏病史，在日常生活中应尽量保持情绪稳定，但其因自身车辆停放问题与荀某争吵，情绪失控导致病发，自身存在过错。无法认定荀某对王某的死亡存在法律意义上的过错。上海一中院故驳回上诉，维持原判。

中国留学生在美遭枪杀: 其来自成都刚硕士毕业

来源：极目新闻

11/10/2021

　　美国当地时间11月9日下午，在美国芝加哥大学附近，一名今年刚从该校毕业的中国留学生遭遇一持枪抢劫匪徒枪杀，凶手随后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃走。极目新闻记者采访获悉，遇难者来自中国四川，年仅24岁。

　　大白天遭抢劫遇难

　　据美国当地媒体报道，9日下午1时54分左右，在芝加哥大学附近54小街900号的行人道上，遭一名持枪抢劫匪徒当街枪杀，凶手随后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃走。芝加哥警方表示，24岁的受害男子当时走在54小街夹爱丽丝大道交口的行人道，一辆深色车辆突然在他旁边停靠，一名劫匪走到该亚裔男子旁，要求他交出财物。抢劫过程中，劫匪不知为何突然对该男子开了好几枪，其中一发子弹击中受害者的胸部。警方接警后立刻赶到现场，中枪男子被送到芝加哥大学医院后不治身亡。

　　芝加哥大学一名在校生小雯（化名）告诉极目新闻记者，事后学校发了声明给所有师生，确认不幸遭枪杀的男子，近期才从该校硕士毕业，遭到枪击16分钟后就不幸遇难。

　　小雯还介绍，就在枪杀案件发生前2小时，芝加哥大学才发送出一份《安全通知》，告知师生学校附近的53街1500号附近有人持枪扫射。

　　据当地警方介绍，有两家商铺和多辆车在枪击中遭子弹击中。

　　遇难者来自成都

　　11月10日，极目新闻记者从小雯以及多名香港大学校友获悉，遭枪击遇难的留学生姓郑，来自四川成都。他2015年从成都一所高中毕业后，到香港大学求学，之后来到芝加哥大学攻读统计学硕士，近期才毕业。

　　事发后，郑先生的多名朋友在社交平台表达愤怒和哀悼。

　　一名港大校友说：“从朋友圈的悼念中就能知道是优秀上进努力的人，是学术研究的榜样，肯定也是家庭的骄傲。还有好多我直接认识的朋友和学长学姐在芝加哥，希望大家都能平安求学归来吧。”极目新闻记者联系该校友，她说自己还需要时间消化这件事，暂无法接受采访。

　　小雯告诉极目新闻记者，事发后，郑先生的家人联系不上他，他的母亲还在留学生家长微信群到处问，有没有人能联系上她儿子，自己看了直接破防。

　　“那个时候大家只排查出是统计系的中国学生，还没确认身份，家长没正式接到通知，也不愿意接受这个事实，所以到处在问，希望有奇迹。”小雯说。

　　一直都是学霸

　　极目新闻记者了解到，郑先生高中毕业那年，曾参加当地一培优机构举办的沙龙讲座，当地媒体还进行了采访。

　　媒体报道称，郑先生还未满18岁，却显示出了超越他实际年龄的成熟和稳健。他说除了在上课期间认真弄懂每个知识点外，课余还会钻研互联网等很多他感兴趣的领域。他也为在场的家庭分享了自己在高中三年所使用的一些对提高学习成绩大有益处的APP。自己还建立了一些个人小档案，有成长笔记，也有错题集，每一点记录都为他后来能以总分651分的好成绩考入香港大学奠定了深厚的基础。

　　沙龙讲座结束后，很多学生家长仍然围绕在他周围，询问关于学习方法的问题，他也都一一耐心地解答。

　　两年前，他还和同学合著了一本关于做事逻辑的著作，豆瓣评分6.1分。

　　11月9日下午，极目新闻记者致电郑先生高中母校，工作人员称暂未听说此事。

　　案发地附近枪击案频发

　　今年以来，芝加哥大学枪案频发。7月1日，该校大三学生路易斯从芝加哥搭车返回校园时，有流弹击穿车窗，打中他的头部，虽紧急送医仍于4日后不治。

　　今年年初，芝加哥大学博士班中国留学生范轶然在芝加哥大学校园附近公寓停车场遭枪击身亡。

　　小雯告诉极目新闻记者，案发地离芝加哥大学校园最近的建筑步行仅两分钟。那边是住宅区，没有商铺，住了很多留学生，但街头人很少。

　　小雯说，芝加哥大学附近枪击案频繁，几乎每天都能听到枪击声。

　　另一在芝加哥工作的徐先生也告诉极目新闻记者，芝加哥的黑帮火拼事件比加州更多，治安状况并不乐观。

世界新闻网

11/09/2021

一名近期才从芝加哥大学毕业的24岁男性，9日下午1时54分左右，在校园附近54小街900号的行人道上，遭一名持枪抢劫匪徒当街枪杀，歹徒作案后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃逸，目前死者身分仍未公布，但根据可靠消息指出，这名受害者为亚裔，且有可能是华人。

芝加哥警局表示，24岁的受害男子当时走在54小街夹爱丽斯大道(Ellis Ave.)交口的行人道，一辆深色车辆突然在其旁边停靠，一名男嫌从车内走出到该名亚裔男旁，要求其交出财物，抢劫过程中，歹徒不知何故对受害者开了好几枪，其中一发子弹打中受害者胸部。

警察据报后立即赶到现场，中枪男子虽经送到芝加哥大学医院仍不治。

该部涉案车辆之后有人看见往54小街西向逃逸。

事发地点有许多学生聚居，旁边还有一小座儿童公园，平日人车来往频繁，芝大学生听到有人在该地点遭到抢劫枪杀，都感到十分意外与震惊。

芝大稍后发出声明给所有师生，确认该名不幸遭枪杀的死者，近期才从芝加哥大学毕业，该校正与芝加哥警局合作，收集更多案件信息，事发后，芝大警局已经立即增加校园附近的巡逻，虽然现阶段没有任何迹象显示该事件为系列案件，但学校鼓励所有人提高警觉、谨慎行事。

这起抢劫枪杀事件发生前两小时，芝大才送出一份「安全通知」，告知学校老师、学生有关东53街1500号附近有枪击案，警方表示，两家当地商家及多部车辆均在该枪击案中被子弹击中。

20岁的芝加哥大学大三学生路易斯(Max Lewis)今年7月1日从芝加哥市搭乘绿线捷运准备返回校园时，不幸遭到从车窗窜入的流弹打中颈部，虽紧急送医急救仍于5日不治。

今年年初芝大博士班中国留学生范轶然，则在芝大校园附近公寓停车场遭枪手滥杀。

芝加哥市的枪枝暴力问题越演越烈，上个周末全市共有50人中枪、九人死亡。

Recent University of Chicago graduate shot, killed in armed robbery near campus

By WGN Web Desk

11/09/2021

CHICAGO — A recent University of Chicago graduate was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon in armed robbery near campus.

Just before 2 p.m., authorities were dispatched to the 900 block of 54th Place on the report of a shooting.

Police said a 24-year-old man was on the sidewalk when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up. A male suspect exited the vehicle and demanded the man’s property. The victim was then shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The vehicle was last seen fleeing westbound on 54th Place.

Around two hours earlier, the university sent out a safety notice regarding shots fired in the area of the 1500 block of East 53rd Street. Police said two local business and multiple vehicles were struck by gunfire.

As bullets flew by, Congressional candidate and founder of My Block, My Hood, My City Jahmal Cole dropped to the ground.

“I dove under the car, I ran for my life,” Cole said. “Nobody was hit but it’s traumatizing. When you’re running for your life, that doesn’t just go away.”

Earlier this summer, a 20-year-old student from Colorado was shot while sitting on a Green Line train. Max Lewis was paralyzed, but alert in the hospital. He was taken off life support and died on July 4.

The university sent the following message to students and staff following Tuesday’s deadly shooting.

“We are working with the Chicago Police Department to gather more facts about the case, and the University of Chicago Police Department is immediately increasing patrols near campus. While we have not had any indication that this is an active incident, we encourage you to be vigilant and exercise caution.

This is devastating news for our entire community. We will keep you informed as we know more about this incident.”

抢匪作案遇“美军陆战队” 1秒夺枪压制同伙鼠窜

来源：ETtoday

10/29/2021

　　惹错人！亚利桑那州一名持枪歹徒伙同另外两人抢劫加油站商店，却遇到“路人”发威，一个箭步就夺下手枪，还用手中的一袋罐装饮料当武器，砸向歹徒让他血流满面，其他同伙见状早就吓得逃之夭夭。这段监视器影片迅速在全美爆红，原来单枪匹马压制抢匪的路人竟是美国海军陆战队的退伍军人。

WATCH: Marine veteran stops armed robbery attempt at convenience store in Arizona
Oct 21, 2021

A Marine Corps veteran came to the rescue on Wednesday morning after an armed suspect and two others attempted to rob a convenience store in Arizona, according to the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.

　　根据美联社、ABC报导，亚利桑那州西南部尤马市（Yuma）一家加油站商店于20日清晨4时30分左右，突然闯进一名持枪歹徒，身后还跟著2名同伙，而当时正要去上班的前美军陆战队队员基尔瑟（James Kilcer）刚好就在店里。监视器画面显示，他先是一眼扫视了抢匪，接著瞬间出手夺枪，并将手中的一袋罐装饮料用力砸过去，随后将人压制在地，同伙吓得连滚带爬地逃跑了，最后一名歹徒都还没踏进店门，这桩抢劫行动就瞬间结束。

　　报导指出，32岁的基尔瑟曾在阿富汗服役，而现在是陆军尤马演习场的聘雇人员，因此国防部不允许他带枪上班，多数人被枪指著可能会吓傻或逃命，但基尔瑟不同，他受访时称，如果当时他身上有带枪，或许还能再抓到其他2名嫌犯，“我当时正准备转身离开，就听到门猛然地被打开，我的第一个反应是，这枪管太小了。”他说，他扫视了一下发现除此之外没有其他武器，在那一刻他就选定了目标，“他朝我多走了一步，朝柜台走一步，我就能抓到他了。”

　　基尔瑟表示，他将饮料罐砸在歹徒的脸上，可能有打碎了对方的鼻子，因为他后来血流满地，同时夺下了枪支，再抓住歹徒的脖子，用枪指著他的头，把他转到背面压制，“我问他，『你多大了？』他说，『我才14岁！』他太快就走上错误的道路了。”警察到场后已将这名少年抢匪拘捕，并正在追缉另外2名共犯。

Marine veteran James Kilcer took matters into his own hands when he witnessed a robbery attempt at an Arizona gas station.

　　事后，基尔瑟说，原本他以为只是一把玩具枪，里面什麽都没有，所以他随手把枪扔在一边，后来检查才知道那是一把真枪，“海军陆战队教会我当机立断……我想我只是在对的时间，出现在对的地方，做我该做的事。”

突发！硅谷华人广场突发恶性枪战！

文章来源: 北美生活大爆炸

10/16/2021

就在今天，北加州硅谷的核心区域Milpitas突然爆发枪战。这是整个硅谷华人最聚集的地方。

一时间，华人票圈都吓坏了，视频中流出了很多细节，据悉枪战发生在华人最熟悉的 400 block barber Lan 附近。即就在环球广场内！

纷纷转发枪战视频。不少人在广场卧倒，警车到处都是。

很多民众猜测是抢劫银行。还有人员受伤。

事件一处引发当地华人疯狂转发。Milpitas 环球广场是华人最喜欢的购物中心之一，仅靠237和880交通要道，这里紧靠众多电子科技公司，不仅有超市还有很多华人餐馆，银行和其他娱乐业。是华人最常出行的地点。

自疫情以来，不少不法分子攻击和抢劫餐厅，甚至直接到ATM机边打劫被害人，最近旧金山Walgreens更是宣布关闭5家旧金山市门店！

猖獗的盗贼大手大脚在店里搬货，让门店着实吃不消。

连警方也直言，对于有组织的零售犯罪，很难全部逮捕。

而今天发生在环球广场的恶性抢占是不是又一次有目标性的抢劫呢？

本事件仍在调查中。尚不知道具体原因。不过：

假日临近，各位华人朋友出行务必注意安全。

(VA) Loudoun County superintendent apologizes, board member resigns as backlash grows over alleged sexual assaults

Loudoun County Public Schools has faced intense public pressure after Scott Smith revealed his daughter was allegedly assaulted in a school bathroom

By Peter Hasson | Fox News

10/15/2021

The superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools issued an apology and a school board member resigned on Friday as the district faces mounting backlash over its response to two alleged sexual assaults, one of which was allegedly carried out by a skirt-wearing male student in a girls’ bathroom.

Superintendent Scott Ziegler apologized for saying during a June event that the Virginia district had no record of assaults taking place in its bathrooms. His comments came amid debate about policy changes related to self-identified transgender students. Ziegler said Friday that he misunderstood the question when he made the comment.

Ziegler also said he is “sorry that we failed to provide the safe, welcoming, and affirming environment that we aspire to provide.” He told affected students and families: “We acknowledge and share in your pain and we will continue to offer support to help you and your families through this trauma.”

LOUDOUN COUNTY FATHER ARRESTED AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING SAYS SCHOOL TRIED TO COVER UP DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ASSAULT

Scott Smith, a Loudoun County father who was arrested at that June event, said this week that his daughter was sexually assaulted in a girls’ bathroom at Stone Bridge High School by a male student who was wearing a skirt. The Loudoun County sheriff’s office has confirmed that an on-campus sexual assault was reported on the day Smith says his daughter was victimized.

The boy accused of assaulting Smith’s daughter later allegedly groped a female student at nearby Broad Run High School after forcing her into an empty classroom, Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj told WTOP in an interview this week.

Board member Beth Barts announced her resignation on Friday, though she didn’t say whether it was related to the ongoing controversy. “This was not an easy decision or a decision made in haste. After much thought and careful consideration, it is the right decision for me and my family,” Barts said.

Barts has repeatedly butted heads with Loudoun parents concerned about critical race theory and similar left-wing topics being taught in schools, leading residents to seek her recall. Brenda Sheridan, the school board chair, thanked Barts for her service and said that the position is expected to be filled during the board’s December meeting.

LCPS didn’t immediately return Fox News’ inquiry on whether Barts’ resignation was linked to the current controversy.

“This could not have been an easy decision for Ms. Barts. We have made known our displeasure with her actions as a school board member over the past several months, but today she has done the right thing. Her former colleagues should take notice,” Ian Prior, the executive director of Virginia parent group Fight for Schools, said in a statement Friday.

“The community should know, however, that the problems at Loudoun County Public Schools and on the school board go well beyond one school board member,” Prior added. “We will continue to shine a light on Loudoun County Public Schools and will keep fighting until we have a school board of common sense, non-partisan members and a superintendent who is accountable to parents and tells the truth.”

BREAKING: Loudoun County father who was dragged out of woke school board meeting reveals his daughter was 'raped' in the girls' bathroom by a 'skirt-wearing' male student who was arrested for assaulting a SECOND girl months later – but staff did nothinghttps://t.co/awoZcVQx3l

今年5月，弗吉尼亚州劳登县的一名父亲被告知，自己上中学的女儿在学校受到“攻击”，但是校方没有报警。

男子后来得知，一名穿着“裙子”的男孩在女厕所内对女儿性侵犯。

于是愤怒的父亲报警，但是校方表示从未接到过关于在双性洗手间发生性侵犯的报告。

48岁的斯科特-史密斯对于学校的态度十分不满，6月22日他走入了学校董事会的会议，并且当面指责女儿在学校女厕所被一个 “穿裙子 “的男学生 “强奸”，他想用发生在她身上的事情来说明他为什么认为每个人不应该自己选择使用哪种性别的洗手间。

但是后来在视频分享中，这位父亲向媒体透露，学校否认这一切，并在他完全分享他的观点前就将其拖出了会议室。

愤怒的父亲表示场面一度很混乱。6辆警察负责带我离去。

这位父亲说自己从未这么无助，他只是想保护自己的孩子。

史密斯说，这名男孩利用学校的变性政策，进入女生洗手间并袭击了他的女儿

事件发生两个月后，这名男孩，因强迫鸡奸而被捕。

就在10月，他因不同的指控再次被捕，据称他在不同的学校袭击了一个不同的女孩。

目前这么中学生被关在一个青少年拘留中心。

但史密斯说，劳登县的学校却仍在不遗余力地保护这个孩子–“一个性侵者”。学校目前没有发表评论。

据悉，这一家人在被赶出后，一直联系律师为这个案子10月14日的开庭做准备，但他们没想到就在10月6日这个男孩再次因为同样事件被逮捕。

劳登县警长办公室确实证实了10月6日的事件，调查确定在10月6日下午，这名嫌疑人强迫受害者进入一个空教室，在那里他违背她的意愿扣留她并不适当地触摸她，目前被指控对他人进行性攻击和绑架。

据称，该14岁男孩在警方的询问中已经承认了所发生的一切。

而这位父亲如今终于能再次站出来，他之前被校方指责为偏激的右翼分子，还将他的信息发送给所有学区的家长。

Hill’s report said that Montgomery County, which has about 1 million residents, received about $2.61 million in revenue in 2017. Hill’s report noted that the revenue would decline over time as customers start using reusable bags, although it will take several years.

He wrote that it would be difficult to estimate potential revenues because Virginia’s legislation applies only to certain retailers while Montgomery County’s applies to virtually all and doesn’t have certain exemptions.

Earlier this year, Prince William County supervisors began drafting a similar plastic bag tax but decided to wait until after the fiscal 2022 budget was passed.

Loudoun County responds after dad says school district tried to conceal daughter’s bathroom assault

Virginia school board under fire after father alleges daughter sexually assaulted in bathroom

Loudoun father claims city concealed sex assault

Scott Smith joins ‘The Ingraham Angle’ to discuss his claims that his daughter was sexually assaulted in girl’s bathroom by boy wearing a skirt

The Loudoun County school district in Virginia issued a statement Wednesday saying it correctly followed all legal protocols, two days after a father – who was arrested during a June school board meeting – accused the district of trying to cover up an alleged bathroom sexual assault against his daughter by a skirt-wearing male student.

“Loudoun County Public Schools is aware of the media and social media reports concerning alleged sexual assaults at two of our high school campuses,” the school district said.

“While LCPS takes student privacy seriously and cannot reveal details concerning the actions of any specific student, we do want to clarify our investigative process. Principals are legally required to report to the local law enforcement agency any act, including sexual assault, that may constitute a felony offense under Va. Code § 22.1-279.3:1. That process was followed with respect to these allegations.”

The statement comes two days after Scott Smith, who was arrested for disorderly conduct during a June 22 school board meeting, alleged that the school district tried to cover up a sexual assault by a gender-fluid individual against his ninth-grade daughter in order to further its transgender rights agenda.

Smith told The Daily Wire on Monday that weeks before his arrest, his daughter at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn was sexually assaulted by a boy wearing a skirt who entered the girls’ bathroom on May 28.

“We can confirm a May 28, 2021 case that involved a thorough 2-month-long investigation that was conducted to determine the facts of the case prior to arrest,” the sheriff’s office previously told Fox News. “This case is still pending court proceedings. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is not able to provide any documents that pertain to a pending case.” The sheriff’s office confirmed that the case involved sexual assault.

All juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that the boy was subsequently charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio.

The school district said in its statement that it contacted the sheriff’s office on May 28 within “minutes of receiving the initial report.”

“Once a matter has been reported to law enforcement, LCPS does not begin its investigation until law enforcement advises LCPS that it has completed the criminal investigation,” the school district said. “To maintain the integrity of the criminal investigation, law enforcement requested that LCPS not interview students until their investigation is concluded. LCPS has cooperated and continues to cooperate with law enforcement.”

The statement differs dramatically from Smith’s account, who said school officials told him on May 28 that the matter would be handled in-house, and that they actually called law enforcement on him for creating a scene on campus.

According to The Daily Wire, the school sent an email to parents later that day saying there had been an “incident in the main office” that required sheriff’s deputies to respond. The email made no mention of the alleged sexual assault and said there was “no threat to the safety of the student body.”

Smith told The Daily Wire that he was arrested at the June 22 school board meeting shortly after LCPS Superintendent Scott Ziegler declared that to his knowledge, “we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.” Smith said he then flew into a rage after a local progressive activist said she did not believe his daughter’s story.

On Aug. 11, nearly two months after Smith’s arrest, the school board voted to approve its transgender rights policy, which requires teachers to call students by the pronouns they identify with and requires bathroom renovations in order to make them more private.

Smith said he received a letter before the Aug. 11 vote informing him he was banned from the school board building.

Then on Oct. 6, the sheriff’s office said a 15-year-old boy was charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student at Broad Run High School in Ashburn. In an Oct. 7 press release, the sheriff’s office said the suspect forced a female victim into an empty classroom where he held her against her will and inappropriately touched her.

The Daily Wire, citing a government official, reported that the boy accused in the Broad Run case had the same name as the student who allegedly assaulted Smith’s daughter.

Elizabeth Lancaster, Smith’s attorney, also told the outlet the suspect in the Oct. 6 incident was the same boy who allegedly attacked Smith’s daughter.

Smith’s wife, Jess, said prosecutors told her the suspect’s court date had been postponed from this Thursday to Oct. 25 in order to handle both cases together. The sheriff’s office declined to confirm or deny to Fox News that the same male student was suspected in both cases.

The school district said in its statement that it is “prohibited from disciplining any student without following the Title IX grievance process, which includes investigating complaints of sexual harassment and sexual assault.”

“LCPS does impose interim measures to protect the safety of students involved in the original incident, deter retaliation, and preserve the integrity of the investigation and resolution process,” it said. “LCPS has complied and continues to comply with its obligations under Title IX.”

The school district added that board members were “not aware of the specific details of this incident until it was reported in media outlets earlier this week.”
