Soros-backed DA George Gascón Suspends Prosecutor for ‘Misgendering’ Pedophile Sex Offender, Accused Murderer

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has suspended the former lead prosecutor who secured the conviction of Hannah Tubbs, a violent sex offender, for allegedly “misgendering” the notorious criminal.

As Breitbart News reported last year, Tubbs, a 27-year-old man living as a transgender woman, was convicted of “choking and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old in a bathroom stall at a restaurant in 2014, a crime that shocked L.A. at the time and was not solved until DNA evidence turned up in Tubbs’s later criminal trials.”

Soros pushed for a Tubbs to be prosecuted as a juvenile, since the crime was committed just before Tubbs’s 18th birthday. Tubbs was a male at the time of the offense. The juvenile sentence meant that Tubbs would not have to register as a sex offender. On a recorded call, Tubbs was heard laughing at the sentence he received.

Subsequently, Tubbs was arrested in nearby Kern County on an unrelated first-degree murder charge, for which Tubbs faces a life sentence if convicted. He reportedly admitted beating the victim to death with a stone.

But Gascón has taken disciplinary action against a prosecutor who alleged that Tubbs was using his supposed new gender to obtain more lenient treatment while in jail, rather than as a genuine expression of identity.

As the Los Angeles Daily News reports:

Deputy District Attorney Shea Sanna, 34, whose five-day suspension ends Thursday, March 2, is accused of misgendering and “deadnaming” Tubbs.

“In a case strategy meeting and in a department email you intentionally and repeatedly misgendered a transgender individual who had a case pending in juvenile court,” Joseph F. Iniguez, who is Gascón’s chief of staff, wrote in a Feb. 22 suspension letter to Sanna. “Your conduct was unprofessional, made your co-workers uncomfortable, and reflected poorly on yourself and the department.”

Sanna had reported that Tubbs is “a ‘master manipulator’ who is documented referring to herself as a man, has refused to take estrogen or wear a bra, and ‘demonstrates a lack of sincerity’ in claiming to be transgender.”

Gascón was elected in 2020 in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement with the help of millions of dollars spent by left-wing billionaire George Soros. He immediately ended the use of cash bail, prevented prosecutors from seeking the death penalty in most cases, ended sentence enhancements for gun crimes or gang-related offenses, and later boasted about having reduced prison sentences for convicted criminals.

He faced a recall effort that turned in 26% more than the minimum number of signatures required. However, county officials were able to eliminate over 27% of the signatures submitted, keeping Gascón safely in office.

Soros has funded dozens of prosecutors across the country, who have upended criminal justice in many cities by pursuing radical “reform” policies that, critics argue, are partly responsible for an ongoing crime wave.
