A former Norfolk, Virginia, police officer filed a lawsuit against the city and its police chief earlier this month after the police department allegedly allowed a biological male to use the women's locker rooms.
According to the documents obtained by Fox News Digital, the Aug. 10 legal complaint stemmed from an August 2024 incident in which former Norfolk police officer Meghan Grabow was changing in the women's locker room and stripped down to her underwear when a recruit described as a "biological male who identifies as a woman" entered the room wearing a suit and tie. Grabow said that the recruit looked at her "as a man would look at a woman" before moving to another part of the locker room.
Grabow claimed that when she spoke to her superiors about her discomfort, she was told to "learn to deal with it" and "find another locker room" if she was uncomfortable.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas court on Friday slashed a $50 million judgment that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was ordered to pay families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre over his false claims that one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history was a hoax.
The Infowars founder can only be forced to pay about $6 million, the Texas Third Court of Appeals ruled in a unanimous opinion, citing state laws that limit lawsuit damages.
The ruling does not affect a separate $1.25 billion judgment against Jones in Connecticut, where he was also found liable for defaming and causing emotional distress to relatives of the 20 first-graders and six educators killed in the Newtown shooting.
The punishing financial verdicts against Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, in recent years have forced him into bankruptcy, led to some of his personal property being put up for auction and led to him leaving his Infowars platform. For decades, he used the platform to push conspiracy theories about the United Nations, the federal government, gun control and more.
Sandy Hook families have yet to collect any money from Jones, who has waged lengthy appeals in state and bankruptcy courts as his company faces liquidation. He remains on air after moving onto new websites and streaming platforms.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defended police, prisons and jails during a Friday appearance on "The Clay Cane Show," putting distance between his administration and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform as political streamer Steven Bonnell, known online as "Destiny," told Fox News Digital that Mamdani would likely govern moderately while helping more radical candidates gain power.
Bonnell said Mamdani's control of a prominent and politically secure office could allow him to build support for other socialist lawmakers without implementing the DSA's most radical proposals himself.
"I think that Mamdani holds a very powerful, very safe office where he can be entrenched for a long time in order to 'hold the door open' for other, (arguably) more radical lawmakers in the future," he said.
