Puyallup wrestler sues Washington over trans-athlete policy after on-mat assault

A 15-year-old Puyallup high school wrestler filed a lawsuit against Washington state and officials, alleging a transgender opponent sexually assaulted her during a December girls’ wrestling tournament and that school officials did not take action, prompting calls to change Washington’s transgender-athletics policy. The Alliance Defending Freedom represents the plaintiff, and the case adds to the national debate over trans participation in girls’ sports amid political and legal actions in several states.
