Stacie-Marie Laughton—a biological male identifying as female and former Democratic New Hampshire state rep hailed as the nation’s “first openly transgender lawmaker”—has pleaded guilty to federal charges of sexual exploitation of children and distributing child pornography. This perverted predator, elected multiple times despite a rap sheet longer than most career criminals, now faces up to 30 years in prison for preying on innocent kids as young as 3 years old—proving once again that the left’s “progressive” icons often hide the darkest secrets.
Laughton admitted in Boston federal court to soliciting and receiving explicit images of preschoolers from his then-girlfriend Lindsay Groves, who snapped the photos while abusing her position at a Massachusetts daycare. The duo exchanged over 10,000 twisted text messages detailing their depraved fantasies, with Laughton directing Groves to capture the abuse during bathroom breaks—turning a place of trust into a hunting ground for child predators.
Groves already pleaded guilty last month, but Laughton’s role as the ringleader exposes the lie that “affirmation” leads anywhere but destruction.This isn’t Laughton’s first rodeo with the law—far from it. Convicted in 2008 of felony credit card fraud and conspiracy, he was forced to resign from the legislature twice before this bombshell. Yet Democrats kept elevating this fraud as a “historic milestone,” with radicals like Eric Swalwell campaigning alongside him.
The hypocrisy is staggering: While conservatives fight to protect kids from groomers in schools and drag shows, the media fawned over Laughton as a hero of “inclusion.” Now, biological reality stares back—this man in a dress exploited the system to access power, then used it to fuel his vile urges.
