The dangers of allowing biological males to compete in female sports are well established. Consider the case of Payton McNabb, who was nearly killed at age 17 when a transgender opponent spiked a volleyball into her skull, leaving her with a permanent brain injury and ending her athletic career. Or that of Italian boxer Angela Carini, who was forced to forfeit her Olympic match against biological man Imane Khelif just 46 seconds in because she had “never felt a punch like this” in a match before.

Now an outrageous and disturbing case from Washington State has highlighted yet another danger—sexual assault.

A sophomore at Rogers High School located in Puyallup, Washington, Kallie Keeler is an experienced competitor in the wrestling arena. But the 16-year-old was unprepared on several fronts for the match that awaited her at the Lady Jag Kickoff Tournament last December.

Keeler faced an opponent from nearby Emerald Ridge High School and expected a typical match. No one told the 16-year-old that her competitor that day in the women’s 190-pound division was in fact a biological boy. This deception denied Keeler the opportunity to preemptively pull out of the match and put her at risk.

The teen was forced to not only wrestle a male opponent but was also subjected to sexual assault. The details are disturbing but necessary to describe. During the match itself, Keeler alleges that her male opponent shoved his hands between her legs and forcibly pushed his fingers into her vaginal area for several seconds—all while she was face down on the mat. Disgusted and horrified, the teen allowed herself to be pinned just so the match could be over. It was only after she got up from the mat that she was informed that she had actually been wrestling a boy.

Conservative journalist Brandi Kruse, host of the daily YouTube show UnDivided, brought the incident to public attention, interviewing the brave teen, and exposing the Puyallup School District’s illegal attempts to bury the scandal.

“And that had never happened, like out of all the years I’ve wrestled,” Keeler told Kruse, describing the incident. “I was just kind of like ‘what the heck.’ I didn’t really know what to do or how to handle that situation. I just wanted the match to be over.”

Immediately following the match, Keeler reported the incident to her mother who had been filming the competition. At the time, she believed her opponent was female but was still incredibly disturbed by the sexual assault during a sporting competition. Her discomfort only increased once she realized she had in fact been facing a biological male.

“I was really shocked at first, ’cause like I didn’t know what to think of it,” she told Kruse. “’Cause high school wrestling it’s a women’s wrestling team, so I wasn’t really thinking that, and I wasn’t concerned about that.”

Keeler’s mother happened to be filming the competition and caught the entire incident on camera, including Keeler’s look of horror and disgust at the moment of the assault.

Journalist Kruse had two wrestling experts review the footage of the match and both agreed that the male wrestler’s placement of his hand between Keeler’s legs seemed intentional and at odds with normal wrestling tactics.

“Both of these experts said that given the move that was happening at this time, there was no reason for the male wrestler to put his hands between Kallie Keeler’s legs,” Kruse reported. “There would be no reason for a prolonged period of time to have your arm and your hand reaching in and pressing into someone’s private parts. And so both the experts we spoke to said in their expert opinion it looked intentional. And that, the one who’s been in wrestling for 40 years, said never has anything like that happened to me or happened to one of my wrestlers.”

As terrible as it was to experience sexual assault by a biological male in a female sporting competition, that possibly isn’t even the worst part of Keeler’s story. That was yet to come.

Journalist Brandi Kruse summarized the multiple disordered facets of Keeler’s ordeal:

The accusation here is an intentional sexual assault, essentially, so there’s that element of this story.  And there’s the element of the story about a girl basically being tricked into wrestling, in a very hands-on sport, right, with a boy. But then there is potentially another criminal element of the story, and that is the fact that over the course of  two months after this happened on December 6th, multiple people within the Puyallup School District knew about the allegation that Kallie Keeler was making and didn’t do anything about it, despite the fact that state law mandates that they report it.

On the Monday following the match, Keeler’s parents emailed the coaches at Rogers High School to officially report the sexual assault and to demand action. Keeler also spoke directly with her wrestling coach about the incident.

“This is a huge issue and something that is 100% not OK,” Keeler’s mother wrote in the email. “The fact that this was done by a biological male who identifies as a female is an even bigger issue for me. Where do we go from here?”

The wrestling coach vowed to investigate the entire incident—not just the sexual assault but the fact of the teen girl being forced to unknowingly face a male opponent. “I most certainly would not put Kallie on the mat if I thought she was competing with a male,” he wrote. “I will investigate this and look to see if we have a video on our end. I will touch base with you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning after I do my due diligence.”

Despite these promises, no investigation emerged, and the school district sat on the allegations for nearly two months until Brandi Kruse and UnDivided broke the story. Only then, 53 days after Keeler’s mother first contacted the school district, did Puyallup administrators finally report the sexual assault to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office as is required by law.

“This silence is potentially criminal,” describes Beverly Talbott, in an account published on the Substack of the LGB Courage Coalition. “As with many states, public school employees in Washington are mandatory reporters when they suspect a child has been abused. That obligation applies to accusations of sexual assault by other students, regardless of whether staff find the allegations credible. Reports must go to law enforcement immediately, with no option to conduct an internal investigation first.”

The wrestler accused of assaulting Keeler has since been identified as freshman student Taufa’ase’e Tei, who also goes by the name Trixie Tei. During the two months that Puyallup School District refused to act on Kallie Keeler’s allegations, Tei had gone on to compete in numerous other wrestling matches with female students, ultimately securing himself a berth at the Washington high school wrestling state finals in the women’s category. As the story gained traction and Washington prosecutors considered whether to bring formal charges, Tei withdrew from the state competition.

Federal officials are also now conducting their own investigation with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opening an inquiry into the case.

“The allegations in this case are sickening” commented Kimberly Richey, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education. “While the District may prioritize ideological agendas over the safety and dignity of its students, the Trump Administration will not tolerate such conduct.”

Since Kallie Keeler bravely went public with her story, investigators have now reportedly received roughly a dozen similar complaints of sexual assault made against the trans male wrestler.

This incredibly disturbing case reveals the dangers of transgender ideology and allowing males to compete in women’s sports and enter intimate spaces reserved for females. It also highlights the ideological capture of school administrators who would rather break the law and refuse to report the sexual assault of a student than call the dogmas of the transgender movement into question.
