Content Notice: This article contains graphic details from a trial related to the sexual abuse of a young child.
A trans-identified male in Australia has been sentenced to just over 4 years in prison for the horrific sexual abuse of his own 5-year-old daughter. While the offender was given the pseudonym of “Hilary Maloney” by the court, Reduxx can exclusively reveal the pedophile as Autumn Tulip Harper.
Reduxx has chosen to withhold Harper’s male birth name in order to protect the identity of the victim.
Harper, 25, was first identified as a suspect in the production of vile child sexual abuse content after an American pedophile he had been communicating with was arrested in September of 2023. A forensic examination of the pedophile’s devices found that Harper had sent him pornographic images and videos of a young girl via Discord. After identifying Harper as the owner of the account the content had originated from, police in the United States notified Australian authorities of their findings.
During the trial, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Rajan Darjee was called upon to interview Harper and create a profile of his offending. Disturbingly, Darjee framed Harper as though he were a “female” who had been “pressured” by a male into committing the offenses.
Harper was represented by Isabelle Skaburskis, who identified herself as “Mx. Skaburskis” to the court. Notably, the defense claimed that Harper had “identified as female” since 2019, but photos of Harper from that year show he had a notably masculine appearance at that time.
Reduxx has also been made aware through a source close to the case that Harper had initially been charged under his birth name, suggesting that he only changed his legal identification during the course of the proceedings. Due to his criminal circumstances, he likely would have had to apply for explicit permission to pursue the change from the Secretary of the Justice Department.
Delivering the sentence on August 26, 2024, Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis highlighted Harper’s “gender dysphoria” and experiences with “transphobia” as mitigating factors, and appeared to accept the defense’s argument that he only committed the abuse to be “validated … as a woman and a sexual person.”
Judge Karapanagiotidis reviewed Harper’s “personal circumstances” prior to announcing the sentence, emphasizing that Harper’s mother had been “homophobic and hateful” during his upbringing, and disapproved of his early attempts to wear women’s clothing. She also noted that his ex-partner, the mother of the victim, had not fully validated his gender identity after he expressed it.
Harper was ultimately sentenced to 4 years and 9 months imprisonment, a steep drop from the maximum 25 year sentence that was available. Prior to delivering the decision, Judge Karapanagiotidis noted that the sentence was lenient, noting: “the sentence that I am about to impose on this charge is lower than the standard sentence.”
He will be eligible for parole just 2 years and 6 months into his sentence.
