A lawsuit has been filed by a Washington state family against numerous parties within the government, claiming that their daughter was a victim of sexual assault by a transgender athlete in a girls’ wrestling match.
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Puyallup School District, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykda and several school staffers were named as defendants. The biological male athlete, nor his family, are defendants in the lawsuit.

It’s believed that the lawsuit’s plaintiff, who is only named as K.M.K. and has the representation of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), is Washington state high school student Kallie Keeler. Speaking in Feb. 2026 on “The Brandi Kruse Show,” Keeler talked about the situation where the trans athlete allegedly sexually assaulted her in a wrestling match.
“A 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted because of political cowardice. Washington state officials insist on pushing gender ideology at all costs — even at the expense of girls’ safety and privacy,” said ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson in an official statement sent to Fox News Digital.
This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match.
Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong.

“Our client’s story is proof of the grave harms caused by lying about biology, and this must end — otherwise, girls will continue getting hurt and violated. We are urging the court to require state officials to change their policy to ensure that girls’ privacy and safety are protected when they compete in the sports they love. No girl should have to unknowingly wrestle a boy. And at a minimum, parents must be notified before their daughters are matched against male opponents.
“Tragically, because of district policy, a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by a male opponent on the wrestling mat. Kallie’s mom was in the gym with her daughter, but she could not protect her because the district’s written policy prohibits notifying parents or anyone else when their daughters will be matched against male athletes. She and her mother promptly reported the assault to school officials, who sat on the information for nearly two months. Washington state failed this family, but it isn’t too late to protect other girls. State officials must change their policies and prioritize girls’ safety in sports,” per Fox News Digital.
In the ADF lawsuit, the main argument is that the WIAA, Puyallup School District and state education officials in Washington are allegedly in violation of K.M.K.’s rights after policies were enforced that permitted transgender athletes to participate in female sports without notifying girl athletes and parents.
It’s stated in the complaint that the policies resulted in K.M.K. unknowingly wrestling a biological male during a female tournament. It’s alleged by K.M.K. that she was a victim of sexual assault, and that it wasn’t properly reported, investigated or remedied by officials.
