Reduxx has confirmed that a prominent trans activist known for having at least two women arrested for “hate speech” was previously convicted of indecent assault on a 14-year-old boy, and was a registered sex offender.
Stephanie Hayden, formerly known as Anthony Halliday, pleaded guilty in 1999 to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy he met through the internet.
According to court records and archived news reports reviewed by Reduxx, Hayden was found guilty of abusing the boy on at least two occasions in 1997, meeting with the victim and proceeding to “kiss and touch him” before driving him back to his parent’s house. Hayden accepted two charges of indecent assault in 1999, and was ordered by Judge Gerald Clifton to pay a £600 fine and to register as a sex offender for five years following the verdict.
Hayden has initiated legal action against more than two dozen individuals over the years, often in an apparent effort to prevent them from referring to him as a “man,” or quashing speculations regarding his past criminal history. In total, Hayden had filed approximately 40 complaints altogether, and multiple individuals have been arrested “hate speech” after he complained to police.
Surely it is odd, if a person is convicted of such an offence, to set a limit (here, 6 years) on their name being on the sex offender register? If the suggestion/assumption is that this conduct has a time limit on it – that is, if it does not occur within 6 years then it won’t recur? Further, the assumption/suggestion appears to be that if the person does engage in that conduct within the 6 years it will be (a) detected; (b) charged and prosecuted; (c) trial will proceed with a conviction. This surely is fanciful.
