Wayde Byard, the spokesman for Loudoun County Public Schools, has been acquitted of perjury charges by a Virginia jury. Byard was accused of lying to a special grand jury investigating the school system's handling of two sexual assaults at two different high schools in 2021. The perjury case was the first prosecution to go to trial from the special grand jury's probe, commissioned by Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares at the request of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
