IN-DEPTH: Woman Says Her Daughter Was Sex Trafficked After School Hid Gender Transition

A woman has filed a lawsuit against a Virginia school district alleging its clandestine support of her daughterโ€™s decision to change her gender identity resulted in her being threatened, bullied, and ultimately trafficked by sexual predators.

Michele Blair, biological grandmother and adoptive mother of 16-year-old Sage Blair, alleges in the lawsuit (pdf) filed in August that staff at the Appomattox County High School directed Sageโ€”who has a history of mental health issues and early childhood traumaโ€”to change her name and pronouns and to use the boys’ bathroom, all the while keeping it a secret from Mrs. Blair.

While attending school identifying as a boy named โ€œDraco,โ€ Sage faced abuse from the other students because of the actions of the staff to transition her,ย Mrs. Blair told The Epoch Times.

โ€œShe was being verbally, physically, and sexually harassed, with constant threats of rape from the male students, and despite this, the school still encouraged her to use the boys’ bathroom,โ€ Mrs. Blair said.

Among the defendants named in the lawsuit are two counselorsโ€”Dena Olsen and Avery Viaโ€”and Maryland public defender Aneesa Khan.

According to the lawsuit, Ms. Olsen and Mr. Via played a key role in deliberately concealing Sageโ€™s transition while engaging in inappropriate psychotherapy methods to facilitate Sageโ€™s belief that she was a boy, which later led to increased trauma and her decision to run away in August 2021.

Sageโ€”identified as โ€œS.B.โ€ in the lawsuitโ€”was kidnapped, drugged, and raped by an adult male who later drove her to Washington, where she was left with two brothers who drugged and raped her again before driving her to Maryland, where she was then left with a registered sex offender who kept her in a locked room only to be trafficked to other men, the lawsuit states.

After Sage had gone, law enforcement found a note she left for her parents which read, โ€œYouโ€™ve done your job, Jesus loves you. … Iโ€™m afraid of what is to come if I stayed. Be on your guard. There are bad people around here. … All my love,โ€ the complaint states.
