Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin pardoned Sunday the Loudoun County father who was convicted for disrupting a school board meeting in 2021 while accusing the school system of covering up his daughter’s sexual assault.
The Republican governor granted a pardon to Scott Smith over his disorderly conduct charge from the incident. Mr. Smith had a resisting arrest charge dropped previously.
Mr. Smith said his daughter was sexually assaulted in May 2021 in the girl’s bathroom at Stone Bridge High School by a boy who was said to be wearing a skirt.
The father was arrested during a rowdy school board meeting a month later where he accused the school board of suppressing what happened to his daughter.
“Scott Smith is a dedicated parent who’s faced unwarranted charges in his pursuit to protect his daughter.
