A transgender pedophile was caught in a pedophile sting conducted in Colorado last week by predator hunters after the man had attempted to meet a 13-year-old girl for the purposes of “teaching” her about sex.

News of the sting first premiered on September 13 on a YouTube account belonging to independent child safeguarding group Colorado Ped Patrol (CPP). The 29-minute video shows CPP head Thomas Fellows confronting a man at a McDonald’s in Weld County, Colorado, on September 7, along with his team.

The alleged pedophile is named by CPP as Ronald “Roni” Jensen, 61, who arrived at the sting location wearing a light blue dress, an auburn wig, sunglasses, and block-heeled sandals. Jensen had been under the impression he would be meeting with a 13-year-old girl, but had in fact been speaking with an adult decoy associated with CPP.

Jensen was met by the CPP team at the eatery’s doorway, with Fellows immediately asking him why he was there and who he was attempting to meet. The team filmed the exchange on body cameras and phones and gave the man the option to have the conversation outdoors to avoid making a disturbance inside, which Jensen agrees to after seeing Fellows had a dossier of evidence on him.

At first, Jensen feigned innocence to the nature of CPP’s sting, claiming his intentions with the 13-year-old were innocent. When asked what he planned to do with the girl, Jensen claims he was set to take her “shopping,” but as Fellows presses Jensen on the more sexual messages he exchanged with the decoy, Jensen begins to argue that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with his desire to become romantic with a minor.

When asked about his stated intention to kiss a 13-year-old girl, he replies, “Kissing? There’s nothing wrong with that.”

He also denies offering to bring the girl an adult toy, writing the allegation off with the claim he had meant a “fidget spinner,” a non-sexual toy.

When asked about messages he sent to the decoy in which he promised to “teach” the child about sex, Jensen asserts he meant “verbally.”

During the sting, Jensen becomes increasingly defensive and irate, and is seen aggressively squaring up to Fellows while pointing a finger in his face. Fellows responds by threatening to defend himself using pepper spray if he is forced to.

At one point during the confrontation, Jensen begins to plead for sympathy, claiming he would never offend again. He appeared to justify his apparent pedophilic attractions by deferring to his gender identity, and suggesting that his communication with the decoy was a symptom of loneliness.

“I’m a very lonely person. This, being this [indicates to himself], you don’t have friends, and I get desperate for friends, it’s all I want…I don’t have friends, people don’t like this, this is me- I’m in the wrong body! People don’t like me, as a man, and I’m desperate to find friends,” Jensen explains.

Fellows replied, “People don’t like you as a man?”

“No, they don’t. I seem to find more people like me as a woman than as a man,” Jensen said.

But soon after, Jensen begins to argue in favor of pedophilia by suggesting it was normalized in the past.

“150 years ago, 13 was nothing…” Jensen said, referring to age, “The only reason it’s changed is because of the puritans and the church.”

“So do you think it’s wrong?” Fellows asked.

“I don’t necessarily agree with the law.”

During the confrontation, Colorado Ped Patrol also revealed Jensen had been subject to a previous rape allegation from a young woman. There were no convictions associated with that report.

Speaking to Reduxx, CPP predator hunter Thomas Fellows says the sting his group conducted on Jensen was the closest he had ever been to having to defend himself physically.

“That was the first time we have ever had to pull the pepper spray out,” Fellows says, “It was because of how he approached me. There was a wall behind me. So when he got in my face, I had no place to go.”

Colorado Ped Patrol is an independent child safeguarding group that was established 18 months ago. So far, the CPP team has facilitated 233 stings, 117 arrests, and 40 convictions with many more cases pending. Fellows says he has 20 team members all over the world, and, despite the group’s name, has conducted stings in over a dozen states outside of Colorado.

The team operates decoy accounts across all social media and dating sites, where they wait for predators to reach out to them before initiating evidence-gathering. All of CPP’s decoy’s are above the age of 18, and use profile photos of themselves “aged-down” using applications like FaceApp.

Fellows explains that he and his team have learned how each county’s police force operate, and that they often take factors like police response times and behavior into consideration when planning out when to involve law enforcement.

He says that in Weld County, where Jensen’s sting was conducted, they often do not call police in advance as they have experience with officers encouraging them to hand over their case, but then leaving the predators walking.

“They’ve taken our cases and told us to stop, and then nothing is ever done. Instead of calling them ahead of time, we call them when we are out there because we don’t feel like anything is being done,” Fellows explains, “So we have started calling them when we are already out there, and we have had a much, much better response.”

On Jensen’s case, Fellows says he was not anticipating an immediate arrest, but does have confidence Jensen will be detained in the coming days.

“The evidence is pretty solid, I think he will be … Of course it would have been better if he was arrested on the spot, but I wasn’t expecting it.” But Fellows says allowing suspected pedophile to return to their homes pending potential charges or arrest comes with its own risks, primarily that of the predator destroying crucial evidence.

“Of course they’re going to erase their stuff. Police might say ‘well we can recover it,’ but what if they throw their phone away? You can’t recover something from a phone that’s not there. Then that evidence is gone.”

On safeguarding against predators, Fellows encourages parents to keep a close eye on their children’s whereabouts on the internet.

“It’s all about awareness. Check your kids’ devices. The more the parents know, the safer their kids are going to be.”

Female students at a women’s university in Japan are being asked to speak with “gender-specialist counselors” in order to convince them that men who identify as transgender are “female.”

Japan Women’s University (JWU) recently announced it would be adopting a self-identification policy that would allow men to apply for admission so long as they stated they were female. The policy will be implemented at the start of 2024, despite half of the female students currently enrolled expressing opposition or hesitation, as reported by the Asahi Shimbun.

In response to the female student’s concerns, JWU released a “Diversity Declaration” in June outlining that administrators intended to work towards convincing female students to change their views on gender ideology.

“Japan Women’s University has created an environment where ‘diversified women’ can learn together, such as formulating guidelines and manuals, assigning gender-specialized counselors, and setting up diversity weeks for students in order to accept ‘transgender women,'” reads the statement.

Satoko Oyama, a professor of social welfare at Japan Women’s University, along with her colleagues, instituted an in-house email hotline dedicated to promoting gender identity ideology. They also partnered with “gender-specialist counselors” to offer sessions to the women attending JWU. University officials have stated they intend to “dispel the anxiety of students,” according to media reports.

The testimony of an anonymous student, identified only as Y.M., is featured on the official JWU website. “I want to remember my privilege of being the majority,” writes Y.M.

“I think students at my university, being female, are the minority in this male-dominated society but are the majority when comparing ourselves to those who identify as transgender. That is, we can be both a minority and a majority depending on perspective,” she adds.

Minori Tokieda, a trans-identified male who heads the advocacy group Rainbow Tokyo Kita-ku, has campaigned extensively for women’s universities to admit men. At the beginning of the year, Tokieda presented a lecture on this topic at Tsuda Women’s University.

“An announcement by a women’s university that it will be accepting transgender students not only broadens the academic options for the target population but also sends out the heartening message that the university is their ally,” Tokieda said.

“This will also give an opportunity for non-transgender students to learn about diversity in their close surroundings,” he added.

Ochanomizu University, Japan’s first institution of higher education for women with a 142-year history, was also the first women’s university in Japan to announce that it would be admitting trans-identifying male students in 2018, with Nara Women’s University and Miyagi Gakuin Women’s University following suit. Earlier this year, Notre Dame Seishin University, which is also for women, said it would accept men who self-declare a female identity beginning in 2023.

Speaking to Reduxx, a Japanese women’s rights advocate who preferred to remain anonymous said the news “sickens” her.

“Already it’s [difficult] for girls to get a place … But the ease with which these women’s universities are just allowing these men in is sickening,” she says. “My daughter isn’t ready to apply for university yet – we are years away from that. But already I feel the tension … And now women will be fighting for even fewer spots at university. Because you can bet that in the next 10 years these women’s universities will admit more than just a few transgender applicants in their quest to look pious.”

The advocate also speculated that ‘positive discrimination’ may also be a factor with the admission of transgender applicants into women’s universities, with discrimination against female applicants being the norm in the Japanese higher education system.

Earlier this year, the revelation that mixed-sex universities in Japan were systematically lowering the entrance exam scores of female applicants in order to deny them admission sparked widespread controversy. Since the start of 2022, two Japanese universities have been ordered to pay restitution to female applicants for discrimination, and a third is currently in court proceedings.

In May, Juntendo University was ordered to pay out 8.05 million yen ($63,000 USD) in damages to 13 women after it was discovered they had been rigging entrance exam results in favor of male candidates. Months later, Tokyo Medical University was similarly forced to pay damages totaling 18.26 million yen ($128,000 USD) to 27 women whose scores were lowered in order to place them behind male applicants.

St. Marianna University School of Medicine in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, is also currently involved in court proceedings brought by female applicants denied entry on the basis of their sex.

In 2018, the Japanese education ministry conducted an investigation after entrance exam score manipulation was first reported at Tokyo Medical University. According to their findings, nine medical schools in total had systematically lowered women’s entrance exams to favor male applicants and relatives of alumni.

The investigation found that after initial exam scores were lowered, at least 20 points were added to the scores for male applicants, and that similar entrance exam manipulations had occurred for years as universities sought to deny prospective female doctors. The justification argued that female doctors might choose to have children, and thereby shorten the length of their medical careers. The practice is believed to have begun as early as 2006 in some cases, and the government report referred to the rigging as “profound sexism.”

After the results of the government report were revealed, the gender equality minister at the time, Seiko Noda, told public broadcaster NHK: “It’s extremely disturbing if the university didn’t let women pass the exams because they think it’s difficult to work with female doctors.”

Following the international headlines on the blatant sex discrimination by top Japanese universities, The Washington Post reported on how enrollment of female students at elite academic institutions has been markedly unequal for the past two decades.

The institutional sex-based discrimination is so well-known in Japan, that there is a stereotype which suggests women who earn prestigious degrees will be unable to get married later in life. Prominent Japanese feminist Chizuko Ueno, a retired professor of gender studies, addressed the issue when speaking to freshman at Tokyo University in 2019. “Even before students enter the university, there is already hidden sexism,” Ms. Ueno said.

Dr. Caroline Norma, who lectures in the Master of Translating and Interpreting at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, spoke with Reduxx about the growing impact gender ideology is having on Japanese women’s already precarious situation.

Having written extensively on the issues impacting Japanese women, Dr. Norma said that recent efforts to coerce female students to accept trans-identified men in universities exemplify how the system has become “infected with gender identity propaganda from the West.” She specifically pointed to the humanities departments and the NGO sector as examples.

“Job opportunities for female university graduates are few, and some have picked up on the possibility of income generated through corporate ‘rainbow’ training. Most elite university campuses these days have an obligatory SOGI allies club, but most participants are aiming for jobs in the NGO sector,” she says.

Commenting on the deliberate denial of females into mixed-sex universities, Dr. Norma highlighted how profitable the medical industry is, and how women in Japan “are systematically shut out of opportunities” to earn an independent income.

“The same discrimination happens in corporate hiring processes, and top selective high schools operate ‘sex-equal’ intake policies when more girls ace their entrance exams. Now we have top women’s universities like Ochanomizu allowing male students self-identifying as women to enroll, even though such universities are elite, and so their admission means a young woman has lost a place,” Dr. Norma explained.

“Japanese women are forced to fight things like negative quotas operating for gender identity and male advancement in the absence of liberal values of women’s rights. Only 25% of Japan’s doctors are female, even though the medical system is filled with old female patients,” she says. “Birthing women are rarely given pain relief, and spycam incidents involving male doctors arise regularly in the news. But none of this is seen as reason to improve chances for women, and no particular nationwide policies are in place to reverse the situation of women in Japan.”

International rankings, including those from the World Economic Forum, consistently place Japan as one of the most unequal countries in the developed world in terms of political representation and economic opportunities for women.

A GlassDoor review by a former Patreon employee is going viral on TikTok following news Patreon abruptly fired their entire security team. The ex-employee alleged that the company was forcing trust and safety team members to overlook pedophilic content on the platform and protect “minor-attracted people.”

On September 8, Emily Metcalfe, a now-former security and privacy engineer at Patreon, posted to LinkedIn that the entire Patreon security team had been abruptly let go.

“So, for better or for worse, I and the rest of the Patreon Security Team are no longer with the company,” Metcalfe wrote, soliciting leads on new roles within the industry. Metcalfe’s post went viral after a screenshot was shared to Twitter by information security lawyer Whitney Merrill.

While people were initially skeptical at the news, Patreon confirmed the news the next day in a statement issued to CyberScoop, claiming they had decided to cut their internal security team in favor of third-party solutions. “The changes made this week will have no impact on our ability to continue providing a secure and safe platform for our creators and patrons,” Patreon stated.

But following the abrupt decision, an ex-employee statement from August began to circulate and raise alarm bells amongst social media users. 

On August 16, a former trust and safety specialist at Patreon took to job review platform GlassDoor to allege that Patreon had demonstrated negligence with regards to child safeguarding in a review simply titled “Illegal.”

The former employee, who worked at Patreon for over one year, claimed platform management had been actively encouraging safety staff to overlook pedophilic content unless ordered to do otherwise by law enforcement.

“We are being told specifically by management and executives NOT to take down content that is illegal or was reported as sexual in nature involving minors unless the police make contact with legal or we have an order by a court,” the ex-employee wrote. “When others try to inform management that there’s an amalgamation of accounts that are selling lewd photographs of what appear to be children, all concerns are dismissed.”

Disturbingly, the review goes on to note that Patreon higher ups are “advocating for customers who are minor-attracted persons (or MAPs),” and concludes by saying: “This is no way to run a company, this is no way to allow children to be exploited on our platform like this.”

Under ‘advice to management,’ the ex-employee writes: “Have federal law enforcement investigate the company because there’s no way what we’re doing is legal.”

The review first came to widespread attention after being posted to TikTok by Ben Hughes, who slammed Patreon for its lack of child safeguarding measures. Hughes’ video quickly wracked up over 160,000 views and 28,000 likes.

But another TikToker’s experience with Patreon is now at the forefront of the discussion, as she claims Patreon had done precisely what the former employee alleged, and ignored her reports of pedophilic content.

Parenting lifestyle and child safeguarding commentator Sarah Adams, known on the app as mom.uncharted, made a video in February of this year discussing her experience attempting to inform Patreon about potentially illegal content.

Adams had first been alerted to an Instagram account featuring sexualized photos of what she says appeared to be a young girl. Adams quickly found the account also had a linked Patreon with over 2,000 donors.

In her original video, posted on February 16, Adams said the photos had given her “human trafficking vibes,” and she attempted to rally her more than 150,000 followers to have Patreon remove the account.

On February 22, Adams reached out to Patreon again after no action had been taken on the page.

The next day, she received a message from Patreon claiming that the creator of the page was verified as being over the age of 18 and there was no violation found. Adams expressed skepticism at the time, reading details on the Patreon age verification process, which at the time did not require valid government-issued ID.

In June, Adams announced Instagram had suspended the account, but it wasn’t until July or August that Patreon finally removed the content on their platform.

Speaking to Reduxx, Adams says the account has already popped back up on Instagram under a different username. Providing the link to Reduxx for review, the Instagram appears to be a collection of “soft-core” pornography featuring girls who seem to be underage. Additional tagged pages within the photos lead to similar accounts, one with even younger-looking girls.

Adams says that, when it was active, the Patreon had locked sections with photos available only to those subscribed donors.

“My assumption was that if [that] is what was displayed on the Instagram account, then the Patreon must be worse.”

Adams, who educates her followers on ways to protect children in the digital age, says child safeguarding by social media platforms has been lacking across the board. While this was the only example she has personally witnessed on Patreon, she notes that other TikTokers have been exposing similar disturbing incidents they’ve come across.

“This type of content is found on all social media platforms and there does not seem to be an urgency in removing it,” Adams says.

“I do not believe any platform is doing enough to protect children or monitor for [child sexual abuse] material. My assumption is that the exploitation of children adds to the bottom line of these companies so they are not in a hurry to implement change despite stating the safety of children is a top priority for them.”

On the recent news of the Patreon safety team being let go, Adams calls it a “surprising and unorthodox move” for a large company.

“Given the nature of the role, there could be a variety of reasons the team was let go. But I can’t lie, after that GlassDoor review, one can’t help but speculate.”

The TikToker also offers a recommendation for users who might become aware of pedophilic or exploitative content while using social media.

“First, report it on the platform. Second, report it to The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.” Adams also suggests copying links and bringing them to CyperTip.ca for Canadian residents.

Through the controversy, some are pointing out Patreon’s selectivity in what content they choose to action on.

The platform has been notorious for suspending creators who express views on political subjects that don’t align with the mainstream.

Earlier this year, YouTuber Sydney Watson was suspended from Patreon for “hate speech.” While Patreon did not explicitly state what Watson had done that fell under that policy, they did confirm it hadn’t been anything she said on their platform, and had been from activity of hers they had been monitoring elsewhere on the internet.

In 2021, Kellie-Jay Keen, a popular feminist activist from the United Kingdom, was also banned from Patreon. Like Watson, Keen was told she had violated “hate speech” policies, though Patreon never specified what she had done wrong.

Get The L Out UK, a grassroots campaign group which advocates for the rights of lesbians, was also recently banned from Patreon.

Despite the suspensions of political commentators on all sides of the political spectrum, another content creator, a YouTuber and “QTPOC” comic book artist who goes by the name Banjees, has posted content on Patreon coming out as a “minor-attracted person” with no apparent resistance from the platform.

Reduxx reached out to Patreon for comment on the allegations made by the former employee on GlassDoor, and was referred to a blog post made today in which they attempted to address the comments.

In the post, Patreon claims the statement made on GlassDoor was “unequivocally false” and labels it “disinformation” and a “conspiracy.” The platform goes on to state that there is no connection between any information shared in the GlassDoor review and the mass termination of the security team.

While the post also asserts that Patreon “has zero tolerance for the sexualization of children or teenagers,” it does not address its extreme delay in action on the account reported by Sarah Adams in February — one it initially defended and left active.

The term “minor-attracted person” was first coined by pro-pedophilia lobbying group B4U-ACT, which was founded in 2003 by convicted child rapist Michael Melsheimer. Melsheimer explicitly stated that the purpose of the organization was to normalize pedophilia where the National Association of Man-Boy Love had failed to do so. 

Around the time of the organization’s creation, Melsheimer advised his fellow pedophiles on pederast forum BoyChat that his new approach for normalizing pedophilia would be focused around garnering public sympathy by deceptively claiming that the humanization of pedophiles would lead to a reduction in child sexual abuse.

Today, B4U-Act had worked with multiple University researchers on the subject of destigmatizing pedophilia, and its highly-promoted term of “minor-attracted person” has gained broad usage, primarily amongst academics.

Earlier this year, a controversial PhD researcher was hired on at a national child safeguarding center just months after being fired for advocating for the rights of “minor-attracted people.”

On May 12, the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse announced that Allyn Walker would be joining the Center as a postdoctoral fellow. Walker was an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia until she came under fire in late 2021 after releasing a book titled “A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.”

Female students at one of Latin America’s top Universities say trans activists staged a coup of a single-sex washroom on their campus, and have left some gender critical women and lesbians fearing for their lives.

On August 24, feminist students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) were confronted by trans activists as they painted a lesbian pride symbol on a wall near the Samuel Ramos Library. Speaking to Reduxx, a witness who prefers to remain anonymous said that the activists began hurling verbal abuse at the women who were painting the lesbian labrys.

“They called them TERFs, colonial fascists, and transphobes,” the source says, noting that shortly after, additional activists from the Queer groups on campus joined in to harass the female students. The women desperately tried to appease the crowd by talking with those who were outraged.

“The women tried to engage in a dialogue, but found that the trans activists only wanted them to paint a symbol for lesbianism they agreed with.”

Shortly after, as a result of the lesbian symbol that had been painted, the trans students reportedly declared that they “did not feel safe” on the campus and went to administrators to demand a gender-neutral washroom be established in that area.

While administrators agreed to create one, the students did not wait for it to be designated. Less than 24 hours later, the activists took over the largest female restroom, which was on the second floor of the Faculty of Philosophy.

As part of their symbolic coup, the activists vandalized the walls outside of the washroom with anti-feminist and pro-sex trade graffiti.

“Less abolitionism, more whoring,” and “less TERFs, more sex” were among the slogans painted outside of the washroom. The “female” bathroom designation was also erased and replaced with “gender neutral.”

The source within the school says that the washroom that had been seized had once been considered one of the safest for women on the campus. Sexual assaults at UNAM are so common that the University recently had to install emergency buttons inside of the cubicles of women’s washrooms.

As a result of lack of safe alternatives, as well as a reluctance to give into the demands of the trans activists, female students have continued to use the washroom, but now report lengthy wait-times and queues as male students have also taken to using the “gender neutral” facility due to its size and convenience.

In response to the bathroom putsch, some feminist students on campus attempted to mark the washroom with their own graffiti.

Photos from inside the washroom taken last week show some feminist slogans have been written on the mirrors and walls. One reads: “if you want a unisex washroom, take it from the men! Don’t violate women’s spaces,” while another asks the activists to respect the rights of female minority students.

But other photos snapped inside show violent threats have now emerged, directed at the women. One, which was menacingly placed near an assault crisis button, reads: “rape and death for TERFs.”

Feminist students reportedly tried to make the University aware of the threatening graffiti, and documented its location for administrators to have it cleaned up, but the University claimed it “couldn’t find” the violent slogans despite it being marked by the women.

The source within UNAM reported to Reduxx that administration has been ordering the removal of the feminist graffiti, but allowed those made by trans activists to remain up, including the death and rape threats.

In a statement issued on August 26, the University appeared to express support for the trans activists who had taken over the female washroom while condemning those expressing “discrimination” towards them.

“The technical council … agreed to categorically condemn any expression of hate, violence, or discrimination towards gender-diverse students,” the statement read. “This is no place for those who undermine the human rights of people who make up our community.”

Apparently emboldened by the University’s lack of action, trans activists have been targeting lesbian and feminist students in an effort to intimidate them. Gender critical women on the campus who have tried to organize formal protests against the seizure of the washroom have been faced with harassment.

“They have begun a witch hunt against lesbian feminists who belong to student organizations,” the source at the University told Reduxx. She continued that female students known to be opposed to trans activism are being particularly targeted.

“They follow [us] to the bathrooms, hoping to find [us] red-handed painting graffiti,” the anonymous source says. “They want to silence us, it is a witch hunt.”

Commenting on the incident, Women’s Declaration International Mexico representative Laura Lecuona expressed outrage at what has happened on the UNAM campus.

“UNAM, and in particular the Faculty of Philosophy, has been a breeding ground for transgender policies for years,” Lecuona tells Reduxx. “In recent months, the violence of different anti-women groups has increased. They have impunity, with the active and passive complicity of [University] authorities.”

Lecuona says the University has been actively imposing gender ideology on students, and that there has been multiple incidents of trans activists on the campus forcing the administration’s hand under threat of unrest. Lecuona explains that earlier this year, trans activists on the campus demanded that a video explaining the difference between sex and gender be deleted from the University’s systems.

“It seems that the authorities are terrified,” Lecuona says. “They make it very clear who they want to protect. Time and again, [UNAM] has shown that their campuses and faculties are not safe spaces for women.”

Lecuona alludes to the statement issued by the University, and asserts that while administration is buckling to the demands of the trans activists, feminists and lesbians on the UNAM campus have been showing tremendous resolve in the face institutional condemnation.

“Under the passive gaze of those who should be protecting our freedom… our bodies are attacked and our words are attacked. If the authorities are afraid, feminists will not be.”

Trans activism is closely related to pro-sex trade activism in Mexico. In July, a transgender politician aggressively disrupted a government conference aimed at tackling human trafficking after becoming offended at the implications abolitionist policies would have on trans “sex workers.”

Maria Clemente, a trans-identified male politician elected to Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies last year, called the suggestion that the sex trade be abolished for the protection of women and children “hate speech.” To a critic, Clemente said: “I am a woman, and I am a whore!  It’s my job and and how my family eats! I love it!”

Sex-based violence against women in Mexico is considered to be among the highest in the world, with the country’s femicide rate continuing to rise even as the general homicide rate falls. 85% of human trafficking victims in the country are female, with women and girls overrepresented in every form of the crime, including organ trafficking, forced prostitution, and labor exploitation.
