The father of a schoolgirl who was raped by a 15-year-old boy in a skirt in the school bathrooms has told of his relief at the boy being sentenced - and his anger at being convicted of disorderly conduct when he erupted in fury at a school board meeting.
Scott Smith's daughter was attacked at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, Virginia, in May 2021.
A month later, the school board of Loudoun County held a meeting, during which it was stated that gender-fluid bathrooms were not problematic. Smith reacted with fury, in scenes that went viral, and was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
On Wednesday the boy that attacked his daughter was sentenced to a 'locked residential program' and ordered to register as a sex offender. He pleaded no contest to two counts of forcible sodomy.
Smith told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he was relieved - but that there were further legal issues ahead.
'Man, we're relieved,' said Smith.
'We're able to put one felony assault behind us, and start the next one next week.'

Asked what he meant, the 48-year-old plumber told Carlson: 'Well, unfortunately, our daughter was physically assaulted the first week of school when she returned this year, and that one was mishandled as well.
On June 22, Scott Smith was dragged out of a Loudoun County school board meeting after listening to the woke school board justify its transgender bathroom policies. He says he was trying to tell the room that his daughter had been raped by a boy 'wearing a skirt' in the girls' bathroom just weeks earlier and that the school ignored it
'Ninety days later we finally got charges. That court case starts next week. It's a felony malicious wounding case.'
Smith said that he was also troubled by his own conviction.
Buta Biberaj, the Loudoun County Commonwealth's Attorney, pushed to have Smith jailed for his outburst - despite her own progressive stance on avoiding incarcerating convicted criminals where possible.
Biberaj appeared in court to personally prosecute Smith, despite knowing that the details of the case involved his daughter.
Smith's attorney said she was shocked when the charges weren't dropped.
'I was found guilty on two misdemeanor charges,' Smith told Carlson.
'One resisting arrest, one, disorderly conduct.
'She asked for 10 days in jail per charge, eight suspended per charge. $2,500 fine per charge. Anger management, probation, and my attorney was able to tell the judge that that was ridiculous.
'He found me guilty on both charges. I got 10 days in jail. Suspended upon one year of good behavior.
'So they basically kind of have me pinned in a corner.
'That's where I'm at with that.'
Carlson called the case 'disturbing'.
After attacking Smith's daughter, the boy was transferred to another school where, in October, he dragged another girl into an empty classroom and touched her breasts.

The boy's mother 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 in November.
