EXCLUSIVE: Virginie Jason Miyares’ prosecutor general published his conclusions of an investigation into the Roanoke College, PK Press Club Digital learned on Monday.
Miyares’ investigation was in response to a biological transgender swimmer who competed in the Roanoke women’s team in 2023. Miyares concluded that the college had denied women, the advantages, the advantages and privileges on the basis of Virginia’s sexual relations, caused emotional, physical and dignitary women and violated Virginia Human Act (VHRA).
Miyares also suggested that swimmers who have been deprived of discrimination are eligible to request financial damage because school policy has violated the VHRA, in accordance with the State Code.
“A private complainant who received a right notice to submit a civil action can file a civil action under the law on compensatory and punitive damages, as well as an injunction,” said the report.

In the United States, there is currently no recorded cases of a college or university in the United States. There are proceedings on similar situations in progress which are looking for financial damage, but none has advanced to the point of paying damages.
The documents obtained by PK Press Club Digital said that six swimmers from the Roanoke College team asked for travel courses in May and led by the school three days before a press conference in which some expressed their dissatisfaction with having a transgender swimmer in their team.
“Two weeks after the press conference, Roanoke teachers in charge of Japan and Greece travel terms rejected the applications of swimmers,” said Miyares’ conclusions.
The documents noted that the VHRA prohibited “discrimination and illegal reprisals by teaching establishments on the basis of sex” and that no teaching establishment can “refuse, retain or refuse” any adaptation, advantages or privileges on the basis of sex “. Any implementation of a discriminatory policy would be considered as discrimination under the law.
The Office of the Prosecutor General of Virginia therefore declared that the policy of Roanoke College “which forces women participating in collegial sports separated by sex to compete with individuals with the biological advantages of male puberty deprives women of adaptation, advantages and privileges made available to others on the basis of sex and violate the VHRA.” In addition, allowing biological men to compete with women discriminate women and that VHRA would prevent biological men from competing with women at the college level.
PK Press Club Digital contacted the Roanoke College to comment.
The Roanoke female swimming season in 2023 was shaken by a conflict of several months between the players and the administration on the presence of the Trans athlete. The controversy led to a press conference in October of the same year, when several female swimmers of the team spoke publicly about their experience.
The athletes who originally spoken allegedly allegedly allegedly felt their pressure by the school to support the transgender swimmer because the trans athlete expressed potential suicidal trends in response to the opposition. The swimmers allegedly alleged that the team coaches were holding a meeting where the athletes voted in an online survey on the opportunity to authorize the athlete, who was in the same room, to stay in the team. The vote was adopted, but women allege that some of them voted “yes” by pressure to do so.

The college published a statement the same week, in which President Frank Shushok Jr. expressed his support for the LGBT community of the school.
“By making this decision, the senior administration and the board of directors were to maintain equity in competition and to protect the integrity of all athletics at the Roanoke College,” said Shushok in the press release of October 5, 2023. “We remain determined to support our LGBTQ + community and our students-athletes, who are all appreciated members of our dynamic community.”
The incident came more than one year after Lia Thomas participated in the NCAA championships for the University of Pennsylvania, and was compared to the controversy of Thomas. Seven of the Roanake female swimmers joined the current trial against the NCAA led by Riley Gaines, citing their experience in 2023.

In the days preceding President Donald Trump’s electoral victory last October, several Roanoke swimmers joined him during a rally in Salem, Virginia, to share their history and defend the laws protecting women and girls from the inclusion of trans athletes in sport.
From now on, the conclusions of Miyares could be substantial in this trial and the overall overall political and legal conflict in the United States compared to the Trans athletes in female sports.
