In Daily Mail’s interview, the mother, who asked not to be identified for the sake of her underage son, spoke with the news outlet from her townhouse in Loudoun County.

She defended her son and told Daily Mail that her son is not transgender:

“First of all, he is not transgender. And I think this is all doing an extreme disservice to those students who actually identify as transgender.”

The mother also suggested he was being used as a political pawn during election season:

“He’s a 15-year-old boy that wanted to have sex in the bathroom, with somebody that was willing.

“And they’re twisting this just enough to make it a political hot button issue.”

The mother of the rapist told Daily Mail that her son doesn’t identify as a female, and it wasn’t just some disguise to slip into the girl’s bathroom

She further said that his actions were that of a heterosexual, hormonal teen who had consensual sex with the victim twice before.

Despite her own son claiming he was “pansexual,” the mother told Daily News:

“He would wear a skirt one day and then the next day, he would wear jeans and a T-shirt, a Polo or hoodie.

“He was trying to find himself and that involved all kinds of styles. I believe he was doing it because it gave him attention he desperately needed and sought.”

“What are they trying to do? Did they hire an investigator to dig up everything and ruin him for the rest of his life?”

The mother explained that she and her son’s father split up when he was just a baby. She left New Jersey and moved to Virginia with her son and said:

“He’s been a challenging child his whole life, which I’ve dealt with myself.

“My son’s gone through multiple forms of counseling and therapy, resources here, at school, friends, family.

“It’s been 15 years of hell trying to get him to do better and be better.”

Even while acknowledging her son’s past troubles, the mother tried to portray the rape in May as a type of accident.

The victim admitted that she had sex with the boy in the bathroom on a previous date, but on May 28 she told him that she was not feeling well and was not in the mood for sex, Daily Mail reported.

According to her testimony, he followed her into the bathroom twice on May 28. During the second time, he followed her into a stall and threw her on the floor and forced her to perform sex acts.

The victim reported he flipped her over on the floor and sexually assaulted her and that he stopped only when someone else had walked into the bathroom. A short time later, she went to the principal’s office to report the rape.

However, the mother did not believe the victim’s account. Instead, she believed her son’s version of events.
