(WND News Center)—The legal fight brought by a boy who says he’s a girl and insists on being on their sports teams, changing with them and showering with them, a case now pending before the Supreme Court, has taken a horrible turn.
Two families from his school district have come forward with detailed allegations accusing him of sexually harassing girls on those teams.
The charges are not off-the-cuff remarks, they were made in a sworn statement under oath and penalty of perjury.
Lawyers with the Alliance Defending freedom are representing one girl, Adaleia Cross, who is a former track teammate of the boy while both were at Bridgeport Middle School in West Virginia. She charges the boy made comments to her in the girls’ locker room that constitute sexual harassment.
Fox News reported, “Cross, who is one year older than the trans athlete, said she quit the track and field team at Bridgeport High School last year as a sophomore to avoid sharing a locker room again with the trans athlete once that athlete reached high school.”
The ADF confirmed, “Our client has sworn under oath and under penalty of perjury in numerous cases about the events that took place between her and the male athlete. As a result of the situation, [Cross] had to step away from the sport she loved entirely and sacrifice a key element of her school experience to protect herself.”
The West Virginia case is one of two similar situations, now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, on transgenderism, an ideology promoted by Joe Biden throughout his time in the White House.
It involves Becky Pepper-Jackson, a boy from West Virginia who went to court to overturn a state law barring biological males from competing in girls’ sports. The second pending case involves Lindsay Hecox, a boy who challenged a similar law in Idaho to be on the women’s cross-country team.
The Fox report confirmed the Cross family revealed when they reported the alleged harassment to the school, nothing was done to reprimand the trans athlete, to their knowledge.
“They told me they would do a full investigation into what I told them,” Adaleia said in the report. “And then, all of a sudden, it was like nothing else was happening, it was done, and it seemed like they thought nothing of it because they didn’t talk to us about it at all, they just left it there and didn’t tell us anything else, so it just made it seemed like, yup it’s done.”
The boy in the West Virginia case is represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, and, stunningly, a brief signed by more than 130 Democrats in Congress has been submitted to the high court supporting him.
Abby Cross, Adaleia’s mother, explained the basis for the harassment complaint. For example, when her daughter was in eighth grade, and the boy was in seventh, they shared a girls’ locker room.
“When Adaleia first told us, she told us that [the boy] was telling her and other girls ‘s— my d—.’ [The boy] was saying to her, coming up and saying to her, ‘I’m going to stick my d— in your p—- and also in your a–.’ At different times [the boy] was saying these things to her.”
The ACLJ has denied their client committed any offenses.
“Our client and her (sic) mother deny these allegations and the school district investigated the allegations reported to the school by A.C. and found them to be unsubstantiated. We remain committed to defending the rights of all students under Title IX, including the right to a safe and inclusive learning environment free from harassment and discrimination,” the organization stated.
Fox reported the Harrison County School district has not provided answers to requests for documentation about its “investigation.”
Making further allegations against the boy is former Lincoln Middle School girls’ track and field runner Emmy Salerno. Salerno declined to compete against the boy and then was subjected to “intimidation,” she charges.
“Salerno’s protest came on April 18, 2024, when she and the trans athlete were in eighth grade. Salerno, along with four other girls, refused to compete in the girls’ shot put competition that day at a local meet. Salerno claims her team was disqualified from the following meet, and then began to face intimidating stares from the trans athlete at public events,” Fox reported.
“After we stepped out, it was an immediate personality change. He didn’t want to talk to me. He just wanted to stare at me, and just stare down,” Salerno said.
The harassment also allegedly moved online, the report said.
Salerno charged, “At the basketball game when he just followed me everywhere, I kind of felt like, ‘Is he gonna try to fight me?’ Is he going to try and sneak up behind me and punch me?’”
Salerno said instead of creating confrontations, when there were issues, she just told her coach not to include her in the lineup for track meets.
WorldNetDaily reported when Franklin Graham, chief of the Samaritan’s Purse global Christian ministry, commented on the fight at the high court.
“If you believe men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms and to undress in your daughter’s or granddaughter’s locker room, then you should vote Democrat,” Graham warned on social media.
“Over 130 Democrats in the House and Senate signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to support biological males in women’s sports.”
His opinion? “This is sick. If it turns your stomach, beware. It seems that most Democrats in Washington are buying into these lies. With many, it’s not about what is right or wrong, it’s about power—and they will sell their souls for power.”
He explained, “I’m not a Republican or a Democrat—no party has my loyalty. I’m going to vote for the platform that best supports American and Biblical values. Men in women’s sports and restrooms is perverted. Pray that God will guide the hearts of the Supreme Court justices to do the right thing as they deliberate this issue in just a couple of weeks.”
Biden supported that scientifically unsound agenda throughout his presidency, promoting it domestically and internationally. It’s the idea that men or women can, through chemicals and body mutilating surgeries, become the sex they are not. Actually, being male or female is embedded in the body down to the DNA level and does not change.
The Democrat coalition includes nine senators and 121 House members, and is led by Congressional Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Becca Balint, D-V.t., Democratic Women’s Caucus Chair Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M., and Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii.
The second case before the Supreme Court involves Hecox, a boy who challenged a similar law in Idaho to be on the women’s cross-country team.
Hecox had tried to run away from the court fight, but the agenda was rejected by District Judge David Nye.
The judge said in that case the state “has a fair right to have its arguments heard and adjudicated once and for all. … The court feels [the man’s] mootness argument is, as above, somewhat manipulate to avoid Supreme Court review and should not be endorsed.”
Hecox had claimed he just decided to “permanently withdraw and refrain from playing any women’s sports at BSU or in Idaho.”
Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley said, “Hecox clearly did not like the prospects on appeal and sought to withdraw the case after the granting of certiorari.”
