First Trans New Hampshire Representative Pleads Guilty to Child Exploitation

The first transgender representative in New Hampshire’s history just 
pleaded guilty to charges of pedophilic sex abuse.

Ex-Rep. “Stacie-Marie” Laughton (D) is a man who masquerades as a woman — 
and has a thing for child sex exploitation. It turns out that when an 
individual openly displays one type of mental illness and sexual 
perversion, he is liable to be guilty of another. The former Democrat 
representative also has a lengthy criminal history dating back to before 
his election, raising questions about why he was free and allowed to run 
for and hold political office.

Laughton’s former partner, Lindsay Groves, worked at a daycare in 
Massachusetts, where she took sexually explicit photos of the children she 
was supposed to watch, between ages three and five, and sent them to 
Laughton. Groves already admitted to the crime and said Laughton 
specifically requested the nude photos and that the two texted thousands 
of times about them, per WMUR9 ABC.

New Hampshire voters elected Laughton three times to the New Hampshire 
House, but Laughton had to resign twice over legal issues. He has now 
pleaded guilty to the child exploitation charges and will be sentenced in 
February, as will Groves.

The UK Daily Mail clarified that the daycare that employed Groves was 
Creative Minds in Tyngsborough, Mass. Laughton was in office as a lawmaker 
at the time he requested the images of the children and gloated over them. 
Someone tipped off the Nashua Police Department, leading to the 
investigation. The two child abusers could be in prison for decades, 
depending on how they are sentenced, and since Republicans run New 
Hampshire at the state level, that could happen.

Groves “used natural bathroom breaks for the children ... to take multiple 
photos of the prepubescent children in a private bathroom and then sent 
the photos to the (former intimate partner) via text message,” The Daily 
Mail quoted the affidavit. The outlet placed the number of the partners’ 
“illicit discussions” about the children at 2,500.

Interestingly, Laughton reportedly has a criminal history. The quote below 
is from The Daily Mail. Note that it is using Laughton‘s preferred 
pronouns rather than accurate ones:

Her lengthy criminal history dates back to 2002, when she was arrested for 
domestic violence/criminal mischief in that year and a sexual assault 
charge against a woman in 2003, when Laughton was still identifying as a 
male. 

In 2015, she was arrested for making a bomb threat against the Southern 
New Hampshire Medical Center.

In 2021, she was arrested once again for misusing the state's 911 texting 
system.

None of that prevented him from being reelected because Democrats love 
criminals.

And as long as media outlets, politicians, and legal authorities continue 
to affirm the mental illness of transgenders no matter what, there will 
continue to be scandals like Laughton’s.
