A transgender woman who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 10 year-old girl in a Denny’s restaurant in California boasted that she would receive a minimum sentence in telephone conversations he had with his father.
Hannah Tubbs pleaded guilty last month to two years in prison for the events reported in the 2014.
In telephone recordings of conversations between Tubbs and her father while she was detained and which were reviewed this week by FOX 11, it expresses that nothing will happen to him after he pleads guilty given the policies of District Attorney George Gascón.
Tubbs also seems to poke fun at the fact that she won’t have to go back to prison or register as a sex offender.
“I’m going to plead guilty”, the defendant is heard saying in one of the recordings.
“They are going to put me on probation and it’s going to fall, it’s going to be done, I’m not going to have to register, I won’t have to do anything”, argues the transgender.
“Aren’t you going to have to register?” asks the father.
“I won’t have to do any of that”, insists Tubbs.
“Well, what are they going to do then?” asks the parent.
“Nothing”, sentences the abuser laughing.
The attack for which Tubbs was convicted took place in a women’s bathroom in a Denny’s restaurant from Palmdale.
At that time, the aggressor identified herself as a man or as James Tubbs and was about to turn 18 years old. After being arrested, almost eight years after the crime, she began to identify as a woman.
Tubbs received a two-year sentence in a juvenile facility because Gascon’s office refused to transfer the case to adult court. Under prosecution, the convict could spend only six months behind bars and would not have to register as a sex offender.
The Tubbs victim told the television network that the handling of her case by the The prosecution has been insulting and unfair.
“The things he did to me and made me do that day are beyond horrible for a girl of 10 years“Declared the young woman. “I want him to be treated as an adult for the crimes against me,” he added.
In the midst of the controversy, Gascón sent a statement on Sunday stating the following:
“Like any responsible office, we learn to As we move forward, we receive feedback from the community, and we make adjustments as necessary based on our experiences and the complex nature of our work.”
The prosecutor further argued that a small number of cases require deny flexibility to prosecutors under the new orders.
Critics of Gascón’s administration, since he took office at the end of 2020, have asked him to reconsider prosecuting minors as adults or to seek life sentences when defendants display especially egregious conduct.
