The Forensic Scrub: How #LCPS and #LCSO Dismantled the Evidence in Loudoun

The Forensic Scrub: How LCPS and LCSO Dismantled the Evidence in Loudoun

Published: January 25, 2026

For over two years, I have pursued accountability for the extrajudicial "Warning Call" conducted by Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) Deputy Timothy Iversen on December 12, 2023. Today, I can reveal a pattern of forensic scrubbing that links LCPS Human Resources directly to the sudden removal of this officer.

The Administrative Trap: February 19, 2025 On February 17, 2025, I filed a formal complaint regarding the "Tripartite Nexus" between school administrators and law enforcement. Two days later, HRTD Investigator Devina Martin issued a response claiming my concerns regarding the Cottone/Iversen nexus had been "previously addressed" (Guardian HRTD Workforce Complaint Case #12731).

At the time of her email, I had received no findings, no apology, and no remediation. Furthermore, Deputy Iversen was still actively serving as the SRO at Seneca Ridge Middle School.

The Physical Remedy: The April 27 Transfer The truth of how the matter was "addressed" became visible exactly 67 days later. On April 27, 2025, Deputy Iversen was abruptly transferred out of his role and away from the site of the violation.

The May 7 Pivot: Denying the Authority They Just Claimed Following the transfer, I filed a massive, several-hundred-page evidentiary slide deck on May 6, 2025 (Incident Report #12756), documenting the full scope of Iversen’s unprofessional and threatening behavior.

The response from Devina Martin the very next day—May 7, 2025—revealed the District’s procedural fraud: she stated that LCPS HRTD "does not have the authority to address the complaint" and recommended I contact law enforcement.

<u>FORENSIC NOTE: This represents a blatant "Jurisdictional Pivot" by LCPS. In February, the District claimed they had already "addressed" the Iversen situation to successfully halt my inquiry. Yet, in May—after Iversen was physically removed from the school—the same Investigator claimed the District lacked the legal authority to address the matter at all. LCPS cannot have it both ways: they cannot claim the authority to "address" a crisis in secret while denying the authority to investigate it in public.</u>

Constructive Admission of Guilt In federal civil rights investigations, the timing of such a transfer is a Remedial Action as Admission. They moved the officer because I had forensically linked him to an administrative fraud they could no longer defend.

#LCPS and #LCSO need to be held accountable for their fraudulent activity, specifically Nick Cottone and Ofc. Tim Iversen, as well as the law firm Troxel Leigh P.C. including but not limited to Lindsay Mohler and Gareth Bowen.

Unprofessional and Retaliatory Actions of Nick Cottone - September 2024

This blog exists to document publicly all of my dealings with Mr. Nick Cottone, Principal of Seneca Ridge Middle School. I have been unfortunately led to this position, as Mr. Cottone has inappropriately and unprofessionally interjected himself into my divorce and child custody situation. Loudoun County Public Schools continues to harbor a principal that exhibits predatory behavior and unprofessional behavior with absolutely no regard or concern for the employee’s inappropriate and illegal behavior. Mr. Cottone has an inappropriate relationship with my ex-wife and other parents of his school. What is an inappropriate relationship? An inappropriate relationship here is defined as Mr. Cottone using his position of power in my child(ren) life and using and abusing his power as Principal to do the following: 1.       Settle scores against me on behalf of other parents, specifically my ex-wife. 2.       Actively colluded with my e...

 On November 6, 2025, an article was published on Yahoo! News and other news outlets. The story discussed the fact that Principal Nick Cottone of Seneca Ridge Middle School had activated his School Resource Officer to have a special education teacher arrested under suspicion that she was drunk.
