The skirt-wearing Virginia boy who was found guilty of raping a female classmate in a school bathroom in May has pleaded no contest to sexually assaulting a second student in October, clearing the way for him to be sentenced for both crimes next month. 

Details of the second incident, which involved the 15-year-old dragging another girl into an empty classroom and touching her breasts, were revealed Monday in Loudoun County juvenile court. 

The defendant, wearing a green t-shirt and brown pants with his hair pulled back into a ponytail, sat silently as the prosecution laid out the second case. 

His mother sat just behind him in the courtroom, and the rape victim from May sat with her parents in the back row, wincing as the details were revealed.

Deputy county attorney Barry Zweig said the October incident started with the boy and victim walking down the hallway at Broad Run High School toward his class that was about to begin.

The girl joked that he was going to miss his class and the teen became upset at her chiding him, Zweig said, explaining to her that he was new to the school. He then pushed her into an empty room next door.

'He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into the classroom,' Zweig said.

In the room, he allegedly put his arm around her neck and hand over her mouth, making it difficult to breathe. 

He put his hands up the back of her shirt, then reached in front and slipped his hands under her bra.

They spent about 10 minutes in the room, then left together, the prosecutor said. 

The girl then texted a classmate, who met her in a bathroom. The two then reported the incident to a school resource officer.

The boy, who was arrested later that day, was charged as a juvenile with abduction and sexual battery, the adult equivalents of a felony and misdemeanor, respectively.

He pleaded no contest to both charges, but claimed he didn't cover her mouth or choke her. He admitted he grabbed her breasts, but said he only touched her over her clothing.

Hallway video shows him pushing her into the class, but there was no camera footage inside the room, the prosecution said.

Scott Smith, the father of the first female victim, was pictured with a bloody mouth, being dragged out of a school board meeting on June 22 - a month after the attack - after listening to school officials say no one had been sexually assaulted in the bathrooms when that's what his daughter had reported the previous month

In court, the boy, wearing a white face mask, only spoke once when the judge asked if he had any questions.

'No, ma'am,' he said, before he was lead out of the courtroom and returned to the juvenile detention center. He will be sentenced on both cases December 13.

After Monday's hearing, the boy's mother didn't comment on the incident but said she's hoping her son gets the help he needs.

'He's young, he has a lot of learning to do,' she told reporters outside the courtroom. 

'I hope he's given the opportunity to do so and prove he can do better and be better.' 

Meanwhile, Loudoun County Commonwealth's attorney Buta Biberaj said afterwards that she has yet to decide what sentence she will recommend, noting she wants to hear what the juvenile probation department recommends and see the results of a psychosexual evaluation of the boy.

'All we have is the facts of the case, we don't have the facts of the person,' she said.

The Virginia school district was thrust into the national spotlight earlier this year over allegations the skirt-wearing boy raped a female classmate at Stone Bridge High School, which he originally attended before being transferred to Broad Run after the incident.

The story exploded when Scott Smith, the father of the rape victim, was dragged out of a school board meeting with a bloodied mouth on June 22 after listening to school officials deny that a girl had been sexually assaulted in the bathroom after his daughter had reported the rape. 

After Monday's hearing, the girl's mother, Jessica Smith, issued a statement regarding the second conviction of her daughter's assailant, which read, in part: 

'My daughter's struggle, and that of our family, still continues. We will not stop, we will not rest, until all who are responsible for this tragedy are held accountable.

'Today’s court ruling is not the end to this story. My husband and I, along with our daughter, will continue to fight for what is both right and just in our Title IX lawsuit against the Loudoun County School Board, so that no child, and no parent, will ever have to suffer what we have as a result of the misguided policies of our local government officials.'

Last month the mother of the convicted boy revealed her son doesn't identify as a female, and that his skirt wasn't just some disguise to slip into the girl's bathroom.

Speaking exclusively with DailyMail.com, the mom, who asked not to be identified for the sake of her underage son, defended his actions as that of a heterosexual, hormonal teen who, in the case of the rape, had consensual sex with the girl twice before.

'He's a 15-year-old boy that wanted to have sex in the bathroom, with somebody that was willing,' she declared, sitting in an empty kitchen in her townhouse in Loudoun County, Virginia.

'And they're twisting this just enough to make it a political hot button issue.' 

The case became the searing tip of a raging debate in Loudoun County over transgender students' rights and parents' freedom of speech.

The school board has been routinely accused of pushing an ultra-liberal agenda on kids and parents and silencing those who disagree with them.

The scandal even entered Virginia's race for governor, giving life to the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin who accused the Loudon school board of a coverup while warning, 'What tragedy next awaits our children?'

Despite his androgynous style and declaration that he's 'pansexual,' the boy's mother insisted he isn't the gender fluid boogeyman in a culture war about transgender policies.

'He would wear a skirt one day and then the next day, he would wear jeans and a t-shirt, a Polo or hoodie,' she explained. 'He was trying to find himself and that involved all kinds of styles. I believe he was doing it because it gave him attention he desperately needed and sought.'

At the same time, she concedes her son is deeply troubled, acknowledging his extensive history of misbehavior that included sending nude photos of himself to a girl in fifth grade.

She reached her own breaking point with the him in early October when he phoned her from the juvenile detention center following his second arrest.

'He asked me how I was doing, and I said, ''I'm broken, I'm shattered, you shattered me,'' the mom recalled. ''Do you have any idea what you've done to me, what you've done to your family?

'And his response was, ''No, what did I do?'' she said.

She had been his primary point of contact, with his dad living in New Jersey.

'At that point, I was like, 'You know what? I love you, I always will, I will do everything I can to always be there for you in any capacity possible,' she said. 'But I told him - 'You need to call your father for now on. Do not call me. I need to heal, and I need you to figure this out for yourself.'

That was Sunday, October 10. She did show up for his juvenile court appearance last Monday. She sat in the gallery while fuming at the boy's father who defied her wishes by showing up with his wife.

'He'd asked about bringing his wife and I said ''she's the reason you have been absent in (our son's) life. I hate her, I don't want her in the courthouse,'' she recalled telling him. 'I'm in the mix every day dealing with three probation officers, detectives, the Commonwealth and I don't know how many lawyers, and you're in your own little safety bubble in New Jersey.'

'And he didn't listen to me,' the mother told DailyMail.com, shaking her head and adding, 'They even brought a friend.'

On October 25, the teen was found guilty for the May 28 sexual assault at Stone Bridge High School. The judge 'substantiated' charges of forcible sodomy and forcible fellatio, the juvenile equivalent of a conviction.

He was sent back to juvenile detention, pending a hearing November 15 on the second case which occurred at Broad Run High School in the same county on October 6, a month after the district transferred him there. 

In that incident, he allegedly pulled a girl into a classroom and inappropriately touched her.

The saga garnered worldwide attention as details were leaked. Irate parents accused the district of a coverup, questioning how a teen with a pending rape case was allowed to stay in the district to commit another sex crime.

The first victim's father Scott Smith, meanwhile, blasted trans bathroom rules that he said allowed a 'gender fluid' boy to enter the bathroom and rape his daughter, fanning a national debate over transgender bathroom policy.

It wasn't long before stories about the teen's past began to surface and spread among parents and activists who were demanding
