FROM NEW YORK POST: The first openly trans lawmaker in the US — who was hailed as a trail-blazer — has admitted to sickening child sex charges involving young kids in a daycare.
Former Democratic New Hampshire state Rep. Stacie-Marie Laughton, 41, a biological male who identifies as female, pleaded guilty to charges including sexual exploitation of children last week in a Boston federal court, WMUR reported.
Four pictures of children believed to be 3 to 5 years old were sent to Laughton by former partner, Lindsay Groves, who took the horrific images in the bathroom of the daycare where she worked in Tyngsborough, Mass., federal prosecutors said.
Laughton — who was called a history-maker following their election to the New Hampshire House in 2012 — asked Groves to take the nauseating pictures and exchanged thousands of text messages about them, according to the feds.
The pictures were taken between May and June 2022 at Creative Minds day care, according to charging documents shared by the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Groves pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography in a federal court.
Both parties were both indicted in August 2023 on three counts of sexual exploitation of children.
Laughton faces up to 30 years in federal prison.
