Update on trans lawmaker arrested for kiddie porn; it gets worse

About a month ago I wrote about the nation’s first transgender lawmaker (really? They are pretty common now) getting arrested for child pornography.

The New Hampshire legislator is a real gem of a person and would never, ever have been elected (twice!) but for his trans privilege. Both times he was elected he had to resign soon after for some insanity or another.

A former New Hampshire state representative and the nation’s first transgender-identifying state lawmaker was arrested by police this week and charged for allegedly distributing child pornography.

Stacie Marie Laughton, a Democrat who previously resigned twice from the New Hampshire state house, is now facing four counts of distributing sexually explicit images of children. Laughton was born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr.

Elected twice, resigned twice. Arrested multiple times. A real gem of a guy.

An update to the story has come out, and it adds to the bizarritude, if that is possible.

Stacie Laughton, 39, has been federally charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children and aiding and abetting by the US Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts. Lindsay Groves, Laughton’s former girlfriend, was the alleged teacher at the center who helped Laughton, a former NH lawmaker, gather the images and has been charged with child exploitation.

Groves allegedly used bathroom breaks for the children, such as diaper changes, to take pictures of the children in the bathroom and would send the photos to Laughton.

There were over 2,500 text messages between Laughton and Groves on the phones obtained by the prosecution. These included at least four sexually explicit pictures of children between three and five years of age.

According to the Boston Herald, in one alleged text from Groves, she said to Laughton, “I want to do this with you with one of my kids.” The text was in conjunction with a picture focused on the genitals of a prepubescent boy.

Yuck. People elected this guy. Eric Swalwell and Beto O’Rourke endorsed him.

You can’t say there were no warning signs before his election. His record speaks for itself.

The 39-year-old has been plagued by repeated legal troubles in the past. In 2008, he was convicted of credit card felony, according to the New Hampshire Union-Leader. In 2012, Laughton became the first transgender-identifying person elected as a state lawmaker, thrilling LGBT activists.

“I believe that at this point, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community will hopefully be inspired,” Laughton said at the time. “My hope is that now maybe we’ll see more people in the community running, maybe for alderman. Maybe in the next election, we’ll have a senator.”

Shortly after the election, Laughton stepped down after the credit card fraud allegations came to light. Laughton was later sentenced to six months in jail after reporting a bomb threat to a hospital in 2015. In July 2021, Laughton was arrested for giving police false information.

Laughton won election to the state house again in November 2022, only to step down in December after accusations of stalking. Laughton had been arrested on stalking charges twice in 2022, including an incident in September just months before the election.

He wasn’t elected for his integrity, obviously, but rather because there is a special privilege that attends to being transgender. It is, for liberals, a “get out of jail free” card. You can be a fraud, a terrorist, and a stalker, but if you are trans apparently you are perfect for being a representative for Democrats.

Really. They elected him with that record. They CHOSE him as their rep.

Now he is part of a kiddie porn scandal, creating and distributing it with his girlfriend. I wonder if that is a natal girl or a created one. No idea, since the media refers to this guy as female.

Notice who took these photos–not just his “girlfriend,” but a worker at a daycare center. And she is hardly the only person in childcare and education engaged in child sexual exploitation. Hundreds of K-12 workers were arrested last year–about 1 a day–for child sexual abuse, and the MSM just ignores it.

Instead the MSM is on a Jihad against Sound of Freedom, calling it QAnon-adjacent for highlighting the problem of child sexual abuse.

Makes you wonder.
