Judge to allow sex offender to question witnesses in Virginia locker room case

ARLINGTON, Virginia – A judge in Virginia will allow Richard Cox, a registered child sex offender, to question witnesses at trial in a case centered in part on allegations of indecent exposure. Cox is facing dozens of charges in the case, Commonwealth v. Richard Cox, for entering female locker rooms and allegedly walking around naked for hours. Judge Daniel T. Lopez agreed on Friday to allow Cox to waive the right to representation on some charges, meaning that during the trial, Cox will make arguments and question witnesses on the stand. Cox, a biological male, identifies as transgender and was able to enter the locker rooms because Arlington County allows people to use the restroom of their gender identity over their biological sex.
