Well, now at least someone is being charged: The principal and athletic director who refused to report high school wrestler Kallie Keeler's claim of sexual assault by a male wrestler pretending to be a female.

Let's check with The Post Millennial for deets:

Two Puyallup School District officials have been charged with gross misdemeanors for allegedly failing to report a Rogers High School wrestler's claim that she was sexually assaulted during a girls wrestling match by her biological male opponent who identified as transgender.


According to court records, Rogers High School Principal Jason Smith, 55, and Athletic Coordinator Peter Collins, 49, were each charged July 21 in Pierce County District Court with failure to comply with Washington's mandatory reporting law.

This goes all the way back to December of 2025, when, well, we've all seen the video.

I hate that video as much as the next guy, but it's the real world we live in (or at least the one Washington lives in).

The report, according to the family, was made immediately.

But somehow it took school officials over 50 days to get police involved. Washington law, of course, requires schools to promptly report child sexual abuse such as this.

Kallie Keeler has now filed a federal lawsuit against the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, the state superintendent's office, the Puyallup School District, and a bunch of officials.

She's not messing around here!

Fortunately, neither are the feds. The DOE opened a Title IX investigation into the district for the boys in girls' sports/locker room thing, as well as their response to the sexual assault allegations.

The state, to their credit, will feature a ballot initiative in November that could ban males from girls' sports.
