Washington Wrestler’s Family Seeks Supreme Court Injunction After Alleged Assault by Trans Athlete

Alliance Defending Freedom filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Kallie Keeler, a 15-year-old Washington wrestler, and her mother, Stephanie Brown. The family alleges that Keeler was sexually assaulted by a male-identified trans competitor during a girls’ tournament in December 2025, without prior notice or consent. Lower courts in Tacoma and the Ninth Circuit denied preliminary injunctions, leaving Keeler unable to compete this season. The petition seeks to bar mandatory matches against male athletes or require notice and no-penalty opt-outs, citing recent Supreme Court rulings on biological sex in sports.
