Richard Cox is a 58-year-old repeat Tier III sex offender who spent the second half of 2024 prowling female locker rooms in northern Virginia, where he would ogle schoolgirls and expose himself to bystanders.

Fairfax County, where Cox exposed himself repeatedly last year, never prosecuted him because, as the police chief put it, “The policy of Parks & Rec allowed him and other persons to use the locker room of the gender that they identify with.”
