‘There was a boy in the girl’s bathroom who attacked my daughter – the skirt isn’t relevant.’ Mom of Loudon County rape victim tells how she and Papa Bear husband were told to ‘keep silent’ and are suing board for failing to protect their child

The mother of the teenage girl who was raped by a boy in a skirt in a Virginia school bathroom says she and her husband were pressured to remain silent about the incident, and had no idea their daughter’s attacker had been allowed back in school until last month.

‘We were silenced for many months,’ Jessica Smith told DailyMail.com, in her first interview since her daughter was sexually assaulted by a 15-year-old classmate at Stone Bridge High School in Loudoun County in May.

‘We were told not to say a word that could jeopardize our daughter’s case.’
