A biological man who identified as female, gained access to a women’s shelter, then allegedly sexually assaulted a woman has turned himself in to police.
Police initially put out a call to the public for Desiree Anderson, “who may also be known as Cody D’Entremont,” the statement read.
“On April 4, 2023, a female victim contacted police to report that she had been sexually assaulted while staying at a Windsor women’s shelter. The suspect, who was also residing at the shelter at the time, allegedly climbed into the victim’s bed and sexually assaulted her.”
On Tuesday, police informed the public D’Entremont turned himself in. The police managed to avoid the pronoun confusion in its report.
“The suspect in this incident has turned themselves in to the police. We want to thank the public for their support and for sharing our post. Your help in spreading the word played a crucial role in bringing about a resolution.”
While it’s technically unclear if D’Entremont was disingenuous in identifying as female, he wouldn’t be the first male to do so.
Last month, the Telegraph reported that 12 of Scotland’s 19 transgender inmates self-identified as the opposite sex only “after their date of admission.”
“Of those seven, less than five individuals in our care were recorded as beginning their transition after their date of conviction,” the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said.
However, the SPS is reviewing its policies, and politicians have expressed worry that male criminals might simply be “identifying” as female simply to avoid being in prison with males, or to gain closer access to women.
Last month, double-rapist Adam Graham switched his name to Isla Bryson and declared himself a woman. Subsequently, Bryson was sent to a female prison in Scotland, but public outcry was loud enough to snap common sense into the SPS.
The inmate was then transferred to a male prison.
Since 2018 in Canada, some biological men have been permitted to serve their sentence in female prisons.
Furthermore, 16% of 99 transgender criminals applied to transfer to a prison that matched their “gender identity” that differed from their biological sex, and more than half of them were approved.
88% of those approved were biological males who identified as female.
