Because of their allegiance to alphabet ideology, liberal jurisdictions are about as sex offender-friendly as is possible in the First World.
Scott Wiener, the utterly degenerate California State Senator Scott Wiener, who is likely to replace former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, often complains that LGBTQ+ people are “disproportionately” put on sex offender lists, and wants to water them down. That’s why his campaign looks like this:

It is in this context that you have to understand how twisted the world has become in places like Northern Virginia, which is one of the most sex-offender-friendly places in the United States, at least if you are transgender. Better yet, a transgender illegal alien. Then you can walk around a high school feeling young girls up and have the school officials allow it.
Reading about this particular case made me ill:

Richard Cox is a registered sex offender, and was spending his time in girls’ locker rooms. A High School girls’ locker room, as well as community centers where even younger girls undressed. He would walk around naked, taking the scenes in. He did this in both Fairfax County, which appears to be sex offender heaven for transgender folks, and Arlington County, which is only slightly less so.

ABSOLUTE INSANITY IN VIRGINIA COURTROOMS
A Virginia judge just threw out charges against a registered repeat sex offender, Richard Cox, who was accused of exposing himself in women’s high school locker rooms.
Why? Because Cox now claims to be a “transgender woman” and the judge bought the radical 14th Amendment equal protection argument. This is a man with multiple convictions for child pornography, prior sexual offenses, and is still facing rape charges against a minor.
Court records show he openly admitted decades ago to getting sexual pleasure from exposing himself to women and children.
This isn’t a close call. It’s a proven predator being given access to girls’ locker rooms under the guise of “rights.” Common sense and basic safety for women and children are being sacrificed on the altar of gender ideology.
Even worse? The case now goes to appeal under Virginia’s radical Attorney General Jay Jones, whose office has already shown glaring incompetence.
This is what happens when courts prioritize activist ideology over reality and public safety. Virginia families deserve better.
Protect women’s spaces!
In both places, parents objected and called the police. In Fairfax, they did nothing. In Arlington, the police arrested him.
Despite being and looking obviously male, his argument was simple: his driver’s license listed him as female, and hence he had a right to be there.

Convicted pedophile Richard Kenneth Cox —
“My civil rights as a transgender person allow me to use a public facility, including the restrooms or changing rooms that identify with my gender.”
Pulling up my information on the sex offender registry and using it to stop me from exercising my civil rights as a transgender person is a criminal misuse of the sex offender registry.”
Cox, who, because he was arrested, was discovered to have a trove of child porn, will likely go to jail for a long time for that crime. But the judge has ruled that the case that brought this all to light—his violating the prohibition of sex offenders to hang around places where children congregate—never should have been brought because it is unconstitutional to prohibit sex offenders from hanging around children.
Although Fairfax County police never arrested the registered sex offender for exposing himself to women and girls in rec center locker rooms throughout the county, Arlington County police did.
In 2024, Cox used women’s locker rooms in two high schools and a county fitness center in Arlington.
For that, the Arlington Commonwealth’s Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti’s office indicted the sex offender for loitering within 100 feet of schools and child swim and gymnastics classes, and exposing himself to women and girls in the locker rooms.
Cox asked a judge for the indictments to be dismissed and that’s what happened.
Judge Daniel Lopez ruled the Virginia law under which Cox is being prosecuted void for vagueness under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The judge’s core reasoning is that the statute criminalizes “loitering” within 100 feet of schools and child day programs by some convicted sex offenders, but does not define “loitering” or give standards for when it becomes a felony.
This is a significant ruling because it not only found an issue with how the statute was applied to Cox. It says the statute itself is constitutionally defective.
So, basically, the judge has ruled that sex offenders CAN loiter around schools and day care centers whenever they like.
Now his argument is that “loitering” is too vague, but IS it? Certainly not in this case; it isn’t. The man spends his time in high school locker rooms naked. It seems pretty obvious that somebody jogging past a place without looking isn’t “loitering,” but just as obvious that somebody hanging out somewhere they are not supposed to be IS.
Juries are not stupid. Words have common meanings. You could make the same case about any word if you get postmodern enough.
Reminder, leftist Democrats in Richmond voted into law allowing anyone to change the sex on their drivers license to their preferred “gender identity.” Which male sexual predator Cox then used to show staffers why he was in the women’s locker rooms, exposing himself to little… https://t.co/8QKHv92h8Y

The meaning of the ruling is simple enough: put “F” on your driver’s license, and you have the right to go anywhere and hang out naked, even if you have multiple convictions for pedophilia. Or, for that matter, if you are male and into young boys, your thing might be hanging out in kids’ locker rooms and looking at the little wee-wee, and that’s fine too.

I had a bit of a tiff with a lawyer who works at the firm representing Cox, and he thought the ruling was great. Cox was “overcharged,” and why should I care? He will likely go to jail for a long time for his kiddie porn pics!
Yeah, well, this case just blew the doors wide open for other sex offenders, who will never get arrested for hanging out in locker rooms, and the cops will never find the kiddie porn because they couldn’t arrest him in the first place.
That may please defense lawyers. It should enrage the rest of us.
As Elon Musk has said, we can never clean up these messes without removing some of the worst offenders among judges. It’s not that we should punish judges for every decision we dislike, but decisions have become so unhinged from our common sense of justice that it’s impossible to retain faith in the system.
