DENVER — A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. Monday’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to compete in the Mountain West Conference women’s championship opening this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by nine current players against the Mountain West Conference challenging the league’s policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans woman volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not commented publicly on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Crews' ruling referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender" player and noted that no defendant disputed that the San Jose State roster includes a transgender woman player. San Jose State will "continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms," the university said in a statement, confirming that all its student-athletes are eligible to participate under NCAA and conference rules. “We are gratified that the Court rejected an eleventh-hour attempt to change those rules. Our team looks forward to competing in the Mountain West volleyball tournament this week." The conference did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The players filed a notice for emergency appeal with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Crews said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a loss in league standings. He also refused a request to re-seed the tournament without the forfeited losses. The judge said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 -– making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season’s awareness of her reported identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a major election year. Crews' ruling also said injunctions are meant to prevent harm, but in this case, he argued, the harm has already occurred. The games have been forfeited, the tournament has been seeded, the teams have made travel plans and the participants have confirmed they're playing. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. Colorado State is seeded first and San Jose State, second. The teams split their regular-season matches and both get byes into Friday's semifinals. The conference tournament winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. San Jose State coach Todd Kress, whose team has not competed in the national tournament since 2001, has said his team has been getting “messages of hate” and that has taken a toll on his players. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official conference standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada’s players stated they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,” without elaborating. Nevada did not qualify for the conference tournament. The nine current players and others now suing the Mountain West Conference, the California State University Board of Trustees and others include San Jose State senior setter and co-captain Brooke Slusser. The teammate Slusser says is transgender hits the volleyball with more force than others on the team, raising fear during practices of suffering concussions from a head hit, the complaint says. The Independent Council on Women’s Sports is funding a separate lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports. Both lawsuits claim the landmark 1972 federal antidiscrimination law known as Title IX prohibits transgender women in women’s sports. Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination in federally funded education; Slusser is a plaintiff in both lawsuits. Several circuit courts have used a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to conclude that discriminating against someone based on their transgender status or sexual orientation is sex-based discrimination, Crews wrote. That means case law does not prove the “likelihood of success” needed to grant an injunction. An NCAA policy that subjects transgender participation to the rules of sports governing bodies took effect this academic year. USA Volleyball says a trans woman must suppress testosterone for 12 months before competing. The NCAA has not flagged any issues with San Jose State. The Republican governors of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming have made public statements in support of the team cancellations, citing fairness in women’s sports. President-elect Donald Trump likewise has spoken out against allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports. Crews was a magistrate judge in Colorado’s U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him as a federal judge in January. ___ Gruver reported from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Hanson from Helena, Montana.Yes, an Italian village is offering $1 homes to Americans following the election

Harvey Castro talks about how AI could be used in cold cases and the symbiotic relationship between AI and a detective. Riverside, California , investigators linked a man’s DNA to a 1979 cold case murder of a teenage girl, years after the same man passed a lie detector test about the crime, according to authorities. The body of 17-year-old Esther Gonzalez was found dumped in packed snow off Highway 243 in Banning, California, in 1979, and after an investigation, detectives determined the teen had been raped and bludgeoned to death. Last week, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release that the case had been solved using forensic genealogy, over 45 years later. On Nov. 20, the Riverside County Regional Cold Case Homicide Team identified Lewis Randolph "Randy" Williamson, who died in 2014, as the killer. NEWS ANCHOR'S MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE WAS CRIME OF ‘JEALOUSY’: PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR Gonzalez was attacked and murdered on Feb. 9, 1979 , as she was walking to her sister’s house in Banning from her parent’s house in Beaumont. Her body was found the next day after an unidentified man, who Riverside County Sheriff’s Office deputies described as "argumentative," called to report he had found a body. The man, later identified as Williamson, said he did not know if the victim was a man or a woman. Detectives identified Williamson as the caller five days after he reported the body, and investigators asked if he would submit to a polygraph. Williamson agreed to the test and passed, which, at the time, cleared him of any wrongdoing.

The county cold case homicide team sent various pieces of evidence to Othram, Inc. in 2023 to initiate a forensic investigative genetic genealogy investigation, with hopes of developing additional leads. Earlier this year, the team moved closer to solving the case. SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER A lab technician performs DNA testing on human remains. (BORIS HORVAT/AFP via Getty Images) A crime analyst assigned to the team determined that even though Williamson was cleared by a polygraph test in 1979, he was never cleared through DNA because the technology had not yet been developed. When Williamson died in Florida in 2014, a blood sample was collected during the autopsy. With the Broward County Sheriff’s Office’s assistance, the sample was sent to the California Department of Justice. It was ultimately confirmed that Williamson’s DNA matched the DNA recovered from Esther’s body. While Williamson’s DNA matched, the investigation remains open into the circumstances that led to Gonzalez’s death.

CONOR McGregor has confirmed he has instructed his legal team "to appeal the decision" after a civil trial found he did rape Nikita Hand. The disgraced fighter was ordered to pay the the mum-of-one almost €250,000 in damages after he was found to have raped her in a Dublin hotel on December 9, 2018. In a social media post shared to X (formerly Twitter) the thug said he plans to "move forward" and "get back to the gym" amid the appeal decision. He said: "People want to hear from me, I needed time. I know I made mistakes." And he continued: "I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me." "I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision. I can’t go back and I will move forward. "I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. He added: "That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits!" In the social media post McGregor continues to maintain his innocence despite the High Court decision last week. The Irish sports star previously told the court he had consensual sex with Ms Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel. Ms Hand was taken in an ambulance to the Rotunda Hospital the following day where she was assessed in the sexual assault treatment unit (SATU). A paramedic who examined Ms Hand the day after the assault had told the court she had not seen “someone so bruised” in a long time. His decision to appeal comes amid mounting pressure from the public and Irish politicians for a criminal case to be opened against McGregror following the civil trial outcome. And sources say the MMA star could still end up facing criminal charges after the High Court jury ruled he “brutally” raped and “battered” Nikita Hand in a hotel penthouse. In a statement a Garda source said: "An Garda Siochana is aware of the outcome on Friday in the High Court but does not comment on any decisions of the courts. “An Garda Siochana does not comment on decisions of or any interactions with the independent Office of the DPP.” Senior politicians are hoping public commentary on the case will influence the DPP’s decision. And a senior Garda source said they would not be surprised if a review of the criminal case is ordered. After the DPP decided not to proceed with a criminal prosecution, they wrote a letter to Ms Hand explaining why in August 2020. She said she felt “absolutely devastated and let down” by the decision.
