Judge lets grand jury keep probing sexual assaults in Loudoun schools
Webster said that because the full school board itself has not been subpoenaed, a civil suit was the only way to challenge the scope of the investigation.
In a court filing last week, Assistant Attorney General Thomas J. Sanford asked that Monday’s hearing be closed because “public access … would play a negative role.” Privacy, he wrote, would “protect the proper functioning and secrecy of the Special Grand Jury.” The school board opposed that request, calling it “violative of the constitutional rights of the press and public.”The mother of the first victim said after the court hearing that she was glad to see the investigation move forward.
