A man with a decades-long history of sex crimes against children who now says he identifies as a woman has been arrested after being found lurking and exposing himself in multiple women’s restrooms in Virginia.
Which I was given to understand never, ever happens. And yet…this.
Richard Cox (no pun intended), who is already a convicted sex criminal, has been charged with nearly two dozen counts of exposing himself to women and children in women’s locker rooms, where he was allowed to be due to his “identifying” as a woman. On one occasion last fall, Cox allegedly exposed himself to a group of women and girls at Washington Liberty High School, a public school in Arlington that has an indoor pool that is open to the public outside of regular school hours.
An Arlington mother told 7News that Cox exposed his fully naked body in front of her and her 9-year-old daughter in the Washington Liberty High School girls’ locker room in September 2024 after swimming lessons for children.
…Witnesses said Cox was allowed to use the girl’s locker room at Washington Liberty High School because Arlington Public Schools allows people to use school bathrooms and locker rooms based on gender identity, not biological sex, and Cox told pool staff he identified as transgender.
The report adds Cox was caught creeping in at least two schools and two public recreation and fitness centers last year alone.

Cox’s history as a pervert who preys on women and children is well-established. In the 1990s, Cox was convicted of taking indecent liberties with children, and had been caught exposing himself to kids in a gymnasium in 1992. He’s already served at least five prison sentences from the late ‘80s to 2018, and has been wanted since 2020 for failing to register as a sex offender.
He was most recently caught on police body cam footage lurking in a women’s locker room at a rec center in Fairfax County, a predominantly blue community just west of Washington, D.C.
Cox, who was referred to with grammatically incorrect “they/them” pronouns in some local news reports, now says his civil rights were violated when he was told to get out of the women’s room, despite his being a man and a convicted sex criminal.
But don't worry, guys - letting mentally ill men who think they're women into private changing and shower facilities or bathrooms with little girls isn't risky at all.
