Loudoun Jury Find Schools Spokesman Not Guilty Of Perjury

Wayde Byard, the now-suspended spokesman of Loudoun County Public Schools, was found not guilty of perjury Thursday in a case related to the coverup of a bathroom rape.
The jury of eight men and four women deliberated for 90 minutes before reaching its verdict. Byard was accused of lying to a grand jury that he didn’t learn of the May 28, 2021, sexual assault of a ninth-grade girl until months later.
“You are free to go sir,” Chief Judge Douglas Fleming said after the verdict was read.
