Hannah Tubbs has also been arrested for battery, drug possession and
probation violations in other states

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is facing criticisms after a 26-year-old transgender woman pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a
young girl, and faces sentencing of a short stay in a juvenile detention
center or probation.

"It’s useless to catch criminals like [Hannah Tubbs] if we don’t follow
through and seek justice for victims such as the 10-year-old girl [she] sexually assaulted. She bears the burden of a lifetime of trauma," L.A.
County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, told the Los Angeles Times. "[She] will
be offered therapeutic interventions under the auspices of ‘restorative justice’ ... and possibly granted only probation or parole. Where is the justice for [her] young victim and her family?"

LOS ANGELES' DA GASCON STILL SILENT ON CRIME WAVE, PROSECUTOR SAYS

Hannah Tubbs, 26, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl
in a women’s bathroom back in 2014, when she was two weeks away from
turning 18. She walked into the bathroom of a Denny’s where she grabbed
the 10-year-old by the throat, locked her in a stall, and put her hand
down the girl’s pants, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Tubbs stopped when another person walked into the restroom.

Tubbs was not linked to the case until 2019. Her DNA was entered into a database that year when she was arrested on suspicion of battery in Idaho. Prosecutors filed charges against her for the 2014 assault case in 2020,
not long after Gascon took office.

FOR TEENS ACCUSED OF SEX CRIMES

Gascon is currently facing a second recall effort in response to his
rollback of tough-on-crime measures, including reforms that often ease potential sentences for murder suspects and ending the death penalty.

Upon taking office, Gascon vowed to "immediately stop prosecuting children
as adults," which he has remained committed to and sparked critics to
lambaste the DA in this case. Gascon has cited studies showing brain development isn't complete until a person is 25, and contends juvenile detention can rehabilitate young offenders.

"This clearly shows you the dangerous aspect of the blanket policies of
George Gascón," Jon Hatami, a prosecutor and supporter of the Gascon
recall movement, said. "Here you have a person who has committed at least
two separate sexual assaults of young girls who is now 26 years old and
has a history of violent conduct in the past. This is not somebody who
should appear in the juvenile system."

Tubbs will be sentenced later this month, and faces a stay at a juvenile
hall or will be granted probation at a court, according to the LA Times.
The Sheriff’s Department has also offered to house Tubbs in an adult
facility.

Gascon told the outlet he was concerned Tubbs could be victimized in an
adult facility as a trans woman and said a probation report recommended
she be sentenced to home confinement. Prosecutors asked that Tubbs be kept
in custody for two years instead. He also noted the gap in time between
the assault and the case being prosecuted, Tubbs' criminal record and the victim's trauma from the assault have complicated the case.

Tubbs has previously been arrested for battery, drug possession and
probation violations in Idaho and Washington.

CRIMINALS

She has a pending misdemeanor case in Washington and was also accused of sexually assaulting a minor in Kern County, California, but the case did
not get prosecuted, according to the LA Times. Tubbs might also qualify as "developmentally disabled" and has multiple mental illnesses, the LA Times reported.

The second Gascon recall effort is meanwhile gaining steam, with Beverly
Hills City Council unanimously voting earlier this month to support the
effort.

"Beverly Hills Vice Mayor Lili Bosse stressed that without consequences
for crime, we have Gotham City. Her sentiments were shared by others on
the council as well," said Karen Roseberry, spokeswoman for Recall Gascon
Now.

Gascon has blamed the renewed effort on Trump supporters, calling it a "political power grab by well-funded political operatives who have fought reforms — on juvenile detention, mental health treatment, police
accountability in fatal police shootings, and the death penalty — for
decades."
