Judge Tells Court To Respect Pronouns of Rapist Who Now Wants To Be Known As A Woman
A California judge has ordered a court to respect the pronouns chosen by a rape-accused prisoner despite the DA's concerns the inmate is exploiting legal protections meant for transgender convicts.
Madera County Judge Katherine Rigby ruled last week that prosecutors must refer to transgender prisoner Tremaine Carroll, 52, by female pronouns.
Carroll is accused of raping two women and impregnating a third while incarcerated at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla where she was serving 25 years for robbing a jewellery store.
Carroll was housed at the female-only jail after being transferred from a male prison despite previously admitting kidnapping charges and facing allegations of other sexual assaults.

The decision has been blasted by District Attorney Sally Moreno who said the pronoun issue complicates her ability to prosecute Carroll for rape as California law states the is an offense that can only be carried out by a man
