WV teen's harassment claims collide with SCOTUS ruling on women's sports
West Virginia teen Adaleia Cross says she was sexually harassed in the locker room by a transgender peer years ago, a case linked to a recent SCOTUS ruling that schools may base girls’ sports eligibility on biological sex. The ACLU says the allegations are unsubstantiated and notes the school district reportedly investigated, while Cross’s supporters accuse authorities of inaction. Cross and her family claim she testified under oath and faced backlash from peers and some teachers; most of her school community backs her, but a vocal minority has been hostile. Cross says she does not plan to return to sports as she nears graduation, and the ruling reinforces biology-based eligibility in women’s sports.
