Transgender Activist Kendall Stephens Charged with Raping Underage Boys
Kendall Stephens, a prominent transgender LGBT activist in Philadelphia who campaigned for and endorsed several top Democrats in Pennsylvania, has been arrested and charged with rape, assault, and other offenses against two underage boys. Stephens, who gained prominence in 2020 after being the victim of a brutal crime, is accused of sexually assaulting the victims, aged less than 13, on multiple occasions. The arrest has sparked controversy due to Stephens' political connections, with some calling for significant penalties. The investigation began after a grandmother reported that her grandchild had been sexually assaulted by Stephens. Bail has been set at $500,000.
