Rugby referee Gray Montrose poses for a photo at Dorey Park and Recreation Center in Henrico, Va., July 21, 2023. Montrose has been involved in the sport of rugby since she was a young teenager either as a competitor or referee. In 2021 Montrose filed a complaint with SafeSport that she was groped by another referee while driving him to a college tournament in Virginia. The referee was given six-months probation, but after Montrose expressed concern about his return to the sport, the center turned around and opened a case against her. - photo by AP Photo/John C.
