The first openly trans lawmaker in America from New Hampshire has admitted to horrible abuse crimes against children. Laughton pled guilty to charges in Boston last week. He will now spend decades in prison. That was too kind.

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.
Laughton now faces up to 30 years in federal prison.
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.
Last month, Groves pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography in a federal court, WMUR previously reported.
The former couple were both indicted in August 2023 on three counts of sexual exploitation of children.
It's sickening to even read about it.
It's always the ones you least expect. https://t.co/PFWVG6R8UY

The Democrats will do their very best to memory hole this whole situation.
They called it historic. Now it’s criminal. Laughton’s legacy isn’t progress—it’s predation. https://t.co/lenReQw4ui

Democrat. Trans. “Trailblazer.” Also: Guilty of child exploitation. The party of “representation” forgot about responsibility. https://t.co/lenReQvwEK

It's all about accommodating mental illness and the innocent become the victims.
The first trans Democrat elected to state office just pled guilty to child sex crimes. This isn’t progress. It’s perversion. https://t.co/lenReQvwEK
