Former Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Ziegler has been found guilty of charges stemming from the cover-up of the sexual assault of a female student by a transgender rapist.
A jury of six women and one man on Friday found Ziegler guilty of using his position to retaliate against a teacher for cooperating with a grand jury investigating how the district handled the rape of a female student.
After a week-long trial and a day of deliberations, the jury found that Ziegler wrongfully fired the teacher.
