Locker Room Case Adds Heat to Virginia Governor Race
A recent report has sparked controversy in the Virginia governor's race, revealing that a registered sex offender, Richard "Riki" Cox, 58, accessed girls' locker rooms in Arlington Public Schools and county pools.
Through a public records request, Defending Education published emails showing Cox's correspondence with an Arlington School Board member in 2024.
People using the shower but not the pool must use the single, isolated locker room away from everyone else, like they are some kind of freak or something.
This incident has led to discussions about school policies during Virginia's only governor's debate.
