Blue School District Doubles Down On ‘Inclusive’ Facilities After Registered Sex Offender Exposes Self To Young Girls

The Arlington Public Schools (APS) Superintendent released a statement recently affirming the district’s commitment to “inclusive” facilities after a registered sex offender was caught repeatedly exposing himself to young girls in a locker room on school property.

Richard K. Cox, a tier three registered sex offender who was first charged with indecent liberties in Arlington in 1992, was arrested in December 2024 after several people reported a naked man watching women in the changing room of the Arlington Aquatic Center, which shares facilities with Washington Liberty-High School, according to ABC 7News. The man apparently identifies as a transgender woman.

When asked about the incident, APS Superintendent Francisco Durán released a statement doubling down on the district’s commitment to building an “inclusive community” for “those who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community,” stating, “[o]ur facilities are designed to be safe, welcoming spaces where our community can come to connect, engage and focus on their health and well-being,” according to the statement obtained by 7News.

“APS permits pool patrons to access restrooms and facilities that correspond to their gender identity,” an APS spokesman told 7News. “We take every report of concerning or unsafe behavior very seriously and do not tolerate behaviors from any individual who is threatening or making others feel unsafe. APS responded to all patron concerns related to this matter in a timely manner and took appropriate and immediate action to investigate, notify law enforcement, and prevent the individual from returning to our pool facilities.”

Durán claims APS took action “immediately” to address the concerns, but some women allege the school was aware of Cox’s presence at the school months prior.

Several women apparently alerted the director of Aquatics Management at APS, Helena Machado, of the man’s presence in September of 2024 but were told to use the individual changing facilities if they were uncomfortable, the Arlington GOP said.

“At the conclusion of the lesson, my daughter […] and I entered the locker room labeled simply ‘Women’s Lockers’ and were startled to find an adult individual whose head, face, shoulders and chest were covered by a towel but the individual’s penis, testicles and legs were fully exposed to anyone walking through the entrance,” one woman told the Arlington GOP. “I sent an email to the APS Aquatic Center director to simply clarify the changing room policy in the aquatic center as it relates to different genders. I received no response. This is unacceptable.”

The woman later spoke to a manager in person and was told that the facility is open to the public and that considerations were being made to change the signage to allow the locker room to be open to all genders, the GOP alleged.

Cox’s pending charges in Arlington County include 12 counts of loitering near a school, daycare, park or playground as a registered sex offender, three counts of entering school or daycare property as a registered sex offender, four counts of indecent exposure, two counts of indecent liberties with a child and one count of identity theft since October of 2024. Prior to the incidents in Arlington, Cox was arrested in Fairfax county in June of 2024 for indecent exposure in the women’s locker room of a Planet Fitness, though the charges were dropped after Cox argued he legally changed his sex to female, according to 7News.

“Transgender people identify as belonging to a gender which may not conform to the sex they were assigned at birth,” Cox argued to the court at the time, according to 7News. “For a transgender person to be observed in a locker room nude is no proof that this also was anything more than platonic.”

APS and the APS school board did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comments.

Vigilante Pedo Hunters Claim More Pedophiles In The Community Than They Ever Imagined

You hear about pedophiles on the news sometimes. Their crimes are so heinous, they can’t be common — that’s why they become national news stories. At least, this is what we all like to hope.

Yet the Daily Caller’s new documentary, “Pedo Hunters,” follows two vigilantes rooting out the pedophiles in their own community. And they say the problem is far bigger than they ever imagined.

“Pedo Hunters” is available exclusively to Daily Caller subscribers. Catch a first glimpse below.

First, the Daily Caller uncovered the true cost of the Defund the Police movement in “Lawless.”  Then, “Do No Harm” exposed the corruption at the heart of the medical establishment chopping up America’s kids. Now, with “Pedo Hunters,” the Daily Caller’s investigative team rides along with two YouTube vigilantes as they hunt for pedophiles in cities across the country.

Meet Josh and Jay: their viral tale of vigilante justice begins with feeling powerless against a system they say failed them.

Josh originally wanted to be a teacher, but when he sat down in a college course next to a man he says sexually assaulted his step-daughter — who the system let walk free — he decided a career change was in order. He decided to take the law into his own hands.

Jay says he experienced sexual assault as a child himself. But when he confronted his alleged abuser as an adult, things quickly turned ugly.

Both men are united in their love for their children and being “tired of waiting for the police.” In 2021, they decided to form DAP: “Dad’s Against Predators.” They now make hunting would-be pedos a full-time job, recording their “hunts” and posting them on YouTube.

Originally, they thought hunting pedos would be a waiting game. They were prepared to wait a full month before they caught their first “prey.” Not many people can be this sick, after all. After their first day, they were shocked.

“This isn’t what we thought it was gonna be,” Josh explained to the Daily Caller’s investigative team.

“We thought we might be able to get like one a month, or something like that,” he continued, but “everywhere that we’ve gone, we’ve never come up empty. Like we’ve always got at least a couple predators.”

“Our first day catching predators, we caught three in the first 24 hours, and from then, we kind of knew like — this is, this is different,” he concluded.

The sheer prevalence of predators inspired Josh and Jay to take their show on the road, so to speak. They now travel around the country, rooting out predators in other communities. And they’ve had success in “every city that we’ve gone to.”

No matter where they go, the process is the same. Josh and Jay troll dating apps to lure would-be pedos out from behind their screens into the open with the sickening promise of a good time. Sometimes, the men on the other end of the screen need some coaxing; that’s where AI generated photos and videos come in. Once the men are aware their intended prey is just 13, the real hunt begins.They set a time to meet somewhere in public, like a CVS or a Target store, and confront their prey with the vile messages. Often, the men try to deny the accusations as the duo begin a public shaming: “This man is a pedophile,” they yell to the entire store.

The point is to highlight the danger within the community. Many, like Josh and Jay themselves, don’t truly know the people who walk among them. Dad’s Against Predators announces it for the world to hear.

Join the Daily Caller for a wild ride as we uncover what it’s really like to be a Pedo Hunter.
