Gov. Glenn Youngkin pardons Loudoun County dad who protested school board after daughter's sexual assault

Youngkin says the daughter was the victim of an attempted cover up

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has pardoned the Loudoun County father who protested against the sexual assault of his daughter and her public school's attempt to cover up the incident, his office announced Sunday.

Youngkin made the announcement on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream, saying he had signed the pardon on Friday. The pardon is for Scott Smith, who was convicted of disorderly conduct in August 2021 after he erupted at school board members over their handling of an investigation into his daughter's attack.
