In 2019, an ACLU lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Corrections resulted in a settlement which required the state to allow violent male inmates to self-identify into the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. The lawsuit was launched on behalf of a transgender male inmate who sought transfer but had been denied. That inmate was anonymized in court records, referred to only as “Sonia Doe.”

Reduxx has learned the identity of the anonymous inmate the ACLU represented in their fight for prison gender self-identification, and can name him as unhinged convicted terrorist Danielle Demers.

Demers, born Daniel Smith, was investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office for attempting to sell ammunition and pipe bombs.

In October of 2017, Demers, a veteran of the Marine Corps, was charged with attempting to sell a high-powered rifle, 300 rounds of ammunition, and material capable of making five pipe bombs. During the course of the investigation, it was learned that Demers provided instructions on how to assemble the pipe bomb and noted that they should be filled with nails to act as shrapnel.

He was arrested by members of the Atlantic City Police Department SWAT Team, and the Atlantic City Police Department Bomb Squad recovered the pipe bomb materials. Authorities did not specify the intended customers for the weapons, and local media reports referred to Demers simply as a “woman.”

As reported by AC Prime Time, Demers had been known locally for charity work prior to his arrest. The exact nature of his activism remains unclear.

Demers was charged with unlawful possession of a destructive device, possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose, unlawful sale of a firearm, unlawfully teaching another to use an explosive, and conspiracy. In April of 2018, Demers and his female accomplice Nina House were each sentenced to five years in prison for their crimes.

Demers’ sex was recorded as female by the Atlantic County Justice Facility, though he was initially housed with men at the New Jersey State Prison in Trenton. In August of 2019, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) filed a lawsuit against the state Department of Corrections on behalf of Demers, arguing that a “woman” named only as “Sonia Doe” had been “imprisoned for the past seventeen months in men’s prisons,” a situation that was said to constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.”

The legal action, which used “she/her” pronouns to refer to Demers, claimed that he was discriminated against “on the basis of her gender identity or expression and on the basis of her sex,” and that he had been “treat[ed] differently than other women solely because she is transgender.”

It was further stated that Demers suffered from an “exceptional vulnerability as a woman,” which included prison staff “referring to her as male, using male pronouns to address her, and sometimes even explicitly telling her she is a man.” The lawsuit sought financial compensation for “the more than seventeen months” that the DOC “caused [him] to suffer in men’s prisons.”

Also mentioned in the complaint was Demers’ lack of access to “gender-affirming undergarments”. In one specific example, a bra owned by Demers was confiscated, and he had filed 13 grievances to the NJDOC related to his desire for women’s underwear.

Within the same month that the lawsuit was filed, the New Jersey Department of Corrections transferred Demers to Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women (EMCF), the state’s only female prison.

“Sonia Doe has spent more than 500 days in men’s prisons, facing extreme harassment, discrimination and outright violence on a day-to-day basis,” said ACLU-NJ Staff Attorney Tess Borden said in response to the decision. “Her bravery in asserting her rights, and the DOC’s quick decision to transfer her to the women’s prison, creates momentum for broad-based reforms.”

In June of 2021, the state of New Jersey reached a settlement with the ACLU-NJ and agreed to adopt major reforms to prison policies which would allow housing according to a self-declared and subjective ‘gender identity’ rather than on biological sex.

As part of the settlement, the New Jersey Department of Corrections agreed to pay Demers $125,000 in damages and $45,000 in separate attorney’s fees.

In a press release issued by the ACLU-NJ, Borden remarked: “The settlement of this lawsuit puts in place systemic, far-reaching policy changes to recognize and respect the gender identity of people in prison – with housing based on gender identity, use of appropriate pronouns, access to gender-affirming property, and much more.”

She continued: “This policy places New Jersey in the vanguard of states committed to protecting transgender, intersex, and non-binary people in prison housing determinations and continues its path toward eliminating discrimination based on gender identity.”

According to testimonies provided to Reduxx from women incarcerated at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women (EMCF), among the first men to be transferred to the prison after Demers and the ACLU-NJ were victorious in their lawsuit was a convicted woman-killer who had referred to himself as “Lucifer’s maiden servant.”

Perry Cerf was handed a 50-year sentence in 2003 for the brutal rape and murder of a sex-trafficked woman from Ecuador. Cerf, who now goes by “Michelle Hel-loki Angelina” and is recorded as female by the DOC, had been found wearing his victim’s clothes and utilizing her identification with his photo superimposed over hers.

At the time of his crime, he sent a letter to the press confessing to and boasting about the horrific slaying, stating: “Since I have a most unusual taste for blood, I drank and licked and lapped up my fill … Let it be known: I am Lucifer’s Maiden servant, sent to earth born of sin, to bring suffering and pain, darkness and evil.”

Cerf accepted a longer sentence to avoid a rape charge, and during his trial said, “Going to prison on a sex charge would be a safety concern for me.” He has since married a female inmate at EMCF, and has been reportedly terrorizing women in the facility.

Since his release, Demers has been active on the online forum Quora, a community that operates on a question and answer format.

Demers is behind at least two profiles on the site. In one Quora profile, Demers describes himself as a “Former Tactical Analyst & Warfare Development Specialist.” He also purports to be a “rape counselor” who “sits on the board of directors for several non-profits.” The 2019 legal complaint launched on his behalf similarly describes Demers as a “grief and suicide counselor” and “board member of several non-profit organizations.”

All together, Demers has replied to thousands of questions on the platform, many of which relate to the topic of transgenderism and prison policies.

To a question posted last year on whether there should be separate prison accommodations for transgender people, Demers responded: “In NJ [sic] transgender females (still having a penis) are housed with cis females, they are housed together, roam freely together, eat together, and shower together… This has been policy for over two years with dozens of trans female inmates living and co-mingling at the only female prison, Edna Mahan.”

To another Quora user who asked “What would happen if an inmate in prison got caught staring at another inmate in the showers,” Demers commented: “The females all have girlfriends and open relationships, no shame in it.”

In a recent post from April 23, Demers instructs readers to “Google Sonia Doe” in order to learn how the state of New Jersey places trans-identified prisoners.

While Demers speaks about “Sonia Doe” as though a separate entity, in a post from last year he explicitly outed himself as “Sonia Doe” and stated that he was “brought to the female prison with the help of the ACLU.”

Demers writes: “I am transgender. I was declared male at birth. I have always been a girl… It’s not a fetish or a phase. I am very feminine, and guys hit on me everywhere I go. My heart, soul, metaphysical mind and now my body are female. I love being a girl! Before I was miserable every second of every day. Trying to be something I wasn’t. It was torture.”

One Quora user asked about the issue of female inmates being impregnated by trans-identifying males. “Are transgender activists bothered by women getting pregnant by male inmates in women’s prisons?” Demers answers: “If a transgender person is on the right combination of hormones and testosterone blocking meds they can not impregnate a female. In fact, they will not ejaculate a single drop of semen.”

In addition to offering his expertise on topics related to transgenderism, Demers has also been responding to Quora inquiries of a sexual nature, including on topics such as furries, diapers, menstruation, and lesbianism.

“I’m ADBL and have no real ADBL friends. Just a few people I speak to online,” Demers writes. In his profile, he lists “Adult Babies / Diaper Lovers (fetish)” as an area of personal expertise. ADBL refers to a sexual subculture in which adults, primarily men, achieve arousal by behaving and dressing like babies.

On his older Quora profile, only three accounts followed by Demers are visible. All of them are related to the sexual fetish of adults pretending to be children or infants. One is specifically titled “Diapered Females.” Among his followers is what appears to be an adult man who calls himself “Newborn Baby Rebecca” and posts photos of himself wearing diapers.

“I love kissing girls (I’m a girl, and not a lesbian). Girls are amazing kissers, soft and gentle,” reads one comment by Demers. To the question, “If female best friends finger each other, does that make them lesbians?” he responds: “No, it does not. It makes them friends with benefits.”

Using his more recently active profile, Demers described a scenario wherein he had engaged in sexual activities with a minor. He described the situation, which involved a 17 year-old girl, as a misunderstanding that occurred after drinking at a bar.

Responding to a user who posed the question of how to prevent “male perverts who try to go into women’s washrooms and showers,” Demers replied: “There is a huge difference between the male perverts who enjoy going into and somehow get off going into female bathrooms/locker rooms, and trans women who go there just like any other female. I’m a trans female and I go into female bathrooms, do you know why, it’s because I’m a female! Even in states where it’s illegal for me to use female restrooms, I’m still going to utilize the female restroom, do you know why? Because I’m a female.”

Disturbingly, Demers also claims to have a period and use period products.

“There is nothing shameful about menstruation. I prefer pads, and when I’m on my period, I keep one in my back pocket. I’ve always got a pad or two in my purse,” he wrote on Quora.

But perhaps most frighteningly, Demers claims to have adopted a homeless teenage girl from an abusive background, and has responded to posts on the topic of kidnapping while himself warning others to understand laws related to the offense.

“I took in and raised a teenage girl, she was drug addicted, being abused by men and at home spent most of her time on the streets. She is now 22, sober, and in college. We are very close. Something deep inside just told me to help her and show her the way. If you have the same urge to intervene I would seriously consider doing so. Bear in mind the law, going against either parent is a losing battle and quick way to possible kidnapping charges. In my particular situation her mother couldn’t have been happier to be rid of her,” he states.

Demers has also claimed to be “best friends with a high ranking police administrator,” while describing an unsettling story involving kidnapping and a “closet painted black with chains hanging everywhere.”

In the story, Demers prevents an officer from conducting a welfare check on an “adult child” on the basis that the sexual bondage scenario was a form of roleplay, and therefore, consensual.

On March 14, 2022, he answered the question: “What crime did you not get caught for yet and owe prison time to the police for?” Demers replied, “If I didn’t get caught, then why would I owe time to the police?”

Thanks to the efforts of Demers and the ACLU, at least 27 men are now housed at EMCF, many of which have been convicted of violent crimes involving women and children.

Amongst them are Matthew “Marina” Volz and Adam “Ashley” Romero, two sadistic men who sexually abused Volz’ 7 year-old daughter to produce “transgender porn” involving the child.

Another male transfer, Raequan “Rae” Rollins, is said to have incited the worst instance of prison guard brutality against female inmates in recent years – following which, he was transferred out of EMCF for his safety to the New Jersey State Prison in Trenton while the women who were beaten remained.

Despite having repeatedly assaulted officers, threatening to sexually assault a female staff member, and allegedly hurling his bodily excretions at guards, Rollins filed a lawsuit following a violent show of force from prison officers which resulted in six women being extremely battered. Major media outlets reported sympathetically that he had been a victim of “transphobia”, and he was ultimately moved to Pennsylvania’s State Correctional Institution at Muncy, a facility for adult female offenders.

Still another male transfer was discovered to have impregnated two women housed at EMCF after being transferred in while serving a 30-year sentence for the murder of his foster father. Demetrius ‘Demi’ Minor had been trying to have sex with the female inmates from the moment he was transferred in, according to sources at the prison.

Additionally, multiple women have told Reduxx of the sexual harassment and abuse they have endured from the male transfers.

Kokila Hiatt, who has spoken to Reduxx on several occasions over the past year, reports becoming the target of harassment by Perry Cerf after speaking out. Cerf made false allegations against Hiatt which resulted in her being punished and placed in a lockdown unit for three days.

Last year, Amy Locane, an actress known for her role in Melrose Place, described how a 6’7″ convicted murderer named Neil LaBranche ⁠— who now goes by the name Nikita Selket ⁠— had been showering with women at the facility, causing them to feel uncomfortable and “violated.”

The family of a slain child is expressing outrage after learning that her killer has quietly declared a transgender identity and may be transferred to a women’s prison. The death of 12-year-old Micaela Ortega was the first case of child grooming resulting in murder recorded in Argentina’s history.

Ortega was first reported missing by her family on April 23, 2016. The child had left her home with the intention of going to meet another young girl she had met on Facebook — not knowing the profile was actually operated by an adult man posing as a minor. Police and members of Ortega’s community in Bahía Blanca desperately launched a search for the child, but were unable to locate her.

Searches continued for a month with no leads until the US-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) intervened in an attempt to assist with locating Ortega.

NCMEC researchers, along with Argentinian authorities, were able to request data from Facebook which revealed Ortega had been communicating with a decoy account they would discover belonged to a 26-year-old man who lived in the nearby town of Ingeniero White. Jonathan Luna was found to have been operating multiple Facebook accounts where he pretended to be a female minor for the purposes of arranging meetings with young girls.

A judge quickly issued a warrant for police to search Luna’s home, where they found Ortega’s cellphone and jacket. After being interrogated, Luna confessed to the murder and told police where he had hid Ortega’s body.

On May 28, just over one month from when Ortega had gone missing, police retrieved the 12-year-old’s corpse from an open field near a highway on the outskirts of Ingeniero White. A forensic examination found that Ortega had been strangled and beaten to death.

Investigators later determined Luna had tried to sexually assault the girl and had robbed her. They also learned that just days prior to being caught, Luna had been trying to arrange for a meeting with another young girl to whom he was trying to give hair accessories he had stolen from Ortega’s corpse.

Luna’s house was set on fire by enraged neighbors after he was taken into police custody and the circumstances of his arrest became known.

At the time of the murder, Luna was a fugitive for having escaped custody after being arrested for aggravated robbery.

Luna was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment in October of 2017. The trial was said to be “historic” because it represented the first time in Argentina’s history that a child grooming case had resulted in the murder of the victim.

In 2020, an anti-grooming bill was adopted by Argentina’s government under the name “Mica Ortega’s Law” in memory of the girl.

But the case that rocked Argentina years ago is now once again renewing outrage after it was revealed that Jonathan Luna has self-declared a transgender identity and was moved out of the men’s population and into a special gender identity unit. Luna has changed his name to “Yoana Luna,” and is claiming he “felt” like a woman even at the time of the child’s murder — something which could have an impact on his conviction for femicide.

In Argentina, femicide is a gender-specific crime introduced in 2012 to address the nation’s epidemic of sex-based violence. According to the United Nations, one woman is murdered every 32 hours in Argentina. The femicide aggravation is defined broadly as “a crime against a woman when the act is perpetrated by a man and gender violence is mediated.”

Because Argentina has self-identification law, males who identify as women cannot typically be charged with femicide. Luna’s lawyers are now reportedly moving to challenge his femicide conviction, and for his crime to be reclassified as simple homicide.

Speaking to LA BRÚJULA 24, law professor and prominent public defender José Pazos Crocitto gave his opinion on the case, stating that he believes Luna is trying to game the system.

“I am convinced that this boy is finding a key to scam the [the court], and it is the latter who is allowing it,” Pazos Crottico said. He asserted that even if Luna was able to have the femicide distinction removed, his life sentence would not fundamentally change.

“The [gender identity] law does not require any type of psychological evaluation because it is intended to be inclusive,” Pazos Crottico said. “Even if the conviction of femicide was removed, that does not impact the life sentence.”

Disturbingly, Ortega’s family was not made aware of Luna’s transgender identity or name change despite a victim’s law requiring they be notified of updates in Luna’s case management. Ortega’s mother, Mónica Cid, first discovered Luna had changed his gender marker after hearing about it in the news.

Luna changed his name last August, and was moved to a special transgender unit in a prison in Florencio Varela. He has reportedly started a romantic relationship with another man in the unit, and, according to Ortega’s mother, he is now pushing to be transferred to a women’s prison.

This week,  La Nueva reported that Luna’s lawyers, along with the Buenos Aires Committee Against Torture, have now presented a habeas corpus in order to bolster Luna’s attempt to be granted the transfer.

Luna has also requested his cellphone be returned to him because he’s “having a hard time” while in prison.

Ortega’s mother has been vocal in opposing the possibility of his transfer, publicly stating this week: “I will not allow him to be with women,” and adding: “[Luna] hates women. It has been proven with the psychological and psychiatric tests that were carried out on him in Bahía Blanca, he despises the female sex.”

This is the second time in less than one month that a killer convicted of a femicide-related offense in Argentina has been revealed to be changing his gender identity.

On April 19, Reduxx reported that a gay man who admitted to murdering the surrogate he had hired to have his children had told the court he was now identifying as a woman in what some believed was a bid to try and avoid a lengthy sentence for femicide.

Fernando Alves Ferreira was detained in February of 2022 after admitting to the murder of Eduarda Santos, a surrogate he had hired who was living with him in the Argentinian city of Bariloche. Both the offender and the victim were Brazilian nationals living in Argentina.

Santos’ body was found by a tourist on the Circuito Chico Trail with 9 gunshot wounds. A later forensic examination revealed that Santos’ corpse also had injuries consistent with having been beaten prior to her death.

Ferreira’s lawyers sought to have the femicide charge withdrawn, arguing that their client no longer identified as a man. During an April hearing, Ferreira’s lawyers stated that his name was now “Amanda,” and that he was going through the relevant legal procedures to have his self-declared gender identity recognized. 

Ferreira’s bid to have the femicide charges dropped has so far been unsuccessful, but a jury will ultimately decide if he is to be treated as a male or a female for the purposes of the case.

A trans-identified male who appears to have once worked for the UK prison service has entered a guilty plea on charges of possessing horrific child abuse material, some of which was in the most severe category.

Tanya Howes, 66, appeared at Norwich Magistrates Court on Wednesday, May 3 on three counts of “possessing indecent photographs of a child” and a separate charge for possessing 100 “extreme” and “grossly offensive” pornographic images and videos.

The Eastern Daily Press, which referred to Howes by “she/her” pronouns, reported that court documents had categorized the 66-year-old as female.

Of the images in Howes’ possession, 29 were classified as Category C, 17 as Category B, and 39 as the most serious Category A, which is the most serious type of child sexual abuse media. Images and video in this category can depict penetrative sexual activity, bestiality, and/or sexual sadism.

Howes was meant to be sentenced on Wednesday, but the Norfolk Probation Service applied for an extension in part so that the case could be referred to the Transgender Case Boards. According to a probation officer, a Case Board needs to be consulted before Howes can be sentenced in order to make sure that “the appropriate factors are identified given the nature of the case.”

Transgender Case Boards were created by the Ministry of Justice in 2017 to help decide how to manage prisoners who claim a transgender identity, including which prison to house them in. 

Earlier this year, England and Wales instituted new rules against housing trans-identified male offenders with intact male genitalia in female prisons if they had been convicted of violent or sexual offenses. Only “exceptional cases” approved by ministers are exempt.

The rules were introduced in response to an outcry against the placement of doubly convicted Scottish male rapist Adam Graham in a female prison. Trans-identified male prisoners in the UK who cannot be housed in male or female prisons are now housed in specialist units.

The controversy surrounding Graham forced Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to reverse the decision and call for a review of prison policy regarding the housing of transgender inmates despite her strong support for self-identification policies.

Reduxx was able to locate several of Howes’ social media profiles under the name “Tanya J. Howes” where he was found to have been frequently uploading sexually suggestive photos of himself and discussing his gender transition. Disturbingly, his social media profiles suggest he was once employed by the UK government in a sensitive position.

On his Twitter account, where he goes by the handle @call_me_psychic, Howes posted that he was “Giving a talk to the transgender prisoners. My first as a civilian and not an officer.” Howes accompanied his tweet with a link to a Foursquare Swarm which showed he had checked in at HMP Bure, a prison in Norfolk.

That same year, Howes also posted that he was representing Gays and Lesbians in the Prison Service (GALIPS) at Norwich Pride. GLIPS was a support group for homosexual prison staffers. Howes appears to have semi-regularly attended GALIPS meetings.

Howes frequently references dominant/submissive sexual relationships and activities, along with other sexual fantasies he has, a theme that is carried across his other social media profiles. On his Flickr account, Howes posted a catalogue of highly sexual photos of himself.

In one series of photos, he is wearing a shirt modeling himself as a prostitute. The shirt reads “Tanya’s price list,” and includes prices for sex with or without a condom, oral sex, and hand jobs.

It also reads: “Nothing considered too kinky or extreme. I am yours to be abused. Discount given for groups” in addition to providing an “all-night” rate.

In another series of photos, he is wearing a shirt that says “I am a prostitute. This slut works for money,” in all capital letters.

In the About section of his Flickr profile, Howes writes, “I have been blessed with being able to live two different lives the second one started on 1st October 2008 and I am loving the new improved me!”

He also says that he loves “doing spiritual things like Reiki healing, Tarot and Mediumship work.” His Flickr profile also confirms that he was employed as a uniformed civil servant when the account was made in 2011.

Howes tried to offer his psychic, astrology, tarot, and Reiki services on his “Spiritual Readings” Facebook page, which has been largely inactive since 2018.

In 2016, he created a Facebook event called “Mini Trade Fair for the Alternative Lifestyle” at the New Inn Roughton. The event was described as strictly for adults and as “selling items for the fetish/alternative communities.

Reduxx has also discovered that Howes has a TikTok profile under the name Norfolk Gal where he describes himself as “happily in a relationship.” His posts include videos from events around Norwich, including two from a Norwich Burlesque show in 2022. His liked videos are private.

Howes is out on unconditional bail until the sentencing hearing scheduled for July 4.

A trans-identified male is facing charges related to the terrifying kidnapping of a special needs youth from a public train in Portland, Oregon.

Matthew Clayton Stark, 42, was arrested yesterday after violating the conditions of his zero-bail release ahead of standing trial on charges of kidnapping, coercion, and interfering with public transportation. The charges stem from a terrifying incident in January of 2022 when Stark reportedly kidnapped a vulnerable minor from a MAX Train. Stark is male, but identifies as a transgender woman named “Tru.”

According to KTVL, who referred to Stark using “she/her” pronouns, the victim is a special needs student described as “sweet and compliant toward adults.” He was riding the yellow line MAX train near the Rose Quarter Transit Center when Stark targeted him.

For reasons that are not clear, Stark reportedly muttered to the boy “that was the biggest mistake you ever made” and threatened the child with harm. He forced the victim off the train at the Interstate/Lombard station with an order to walk in front of him. Despite being in visible distress the entire time, no onlookers stopped to help the boy.

Stark marched the victim to a house in North Portland, where he dropped him off in front of the door and told him to knock and utter a cryptic phrase that “Mica” had arrived to “see his son.” The homeowner was reportedly unfamiliar with Stark and confused about the message, prompting Stark to leave. The victim then called the police, who were unable to find Stark at the time.

Police followed up the next day, and found security video from the Rose Quarter Transit Station showing Stark and victim exiting at the Interstate/Lombard station. Because Stark was of no fixed address, police were not immediately able to locate him, but a detective created a wanted poster and distributed it to various law enforcement agencies.

The next month, a transit deputy recognized Stark from the poster and arrested him.

Despite Stark being well-known to police and having an extensive criminal record, no bail was set and he was released from custody in April of 2022 under the condition he attend outpatient treatment for substance abuse.

According to a Close Street Evaluation Report, the victim’s mother stated he was so traumatized that he could not use public transportation anymore. Though Stark was categorized as a “Very High Risk” for pretrial monitoring, the release plan included no specific protections for the victim.

An arrest warrant was issued for Stark in October of 2022 after he violated his release conditions by refusing to attend his substance abuse treatment program. While he is homeless and authorities had a difficult time locating him, he was finally re-arrested on May 2.

On his Facebook, Stark has posted repeatedly about trans rights, and has even created pro-trans artwork in the form of drawings and paintings.

Stark appears to have been interested in creating art, and posted photos of hand-made drawings he made, much of which has Egyptian symbolism.

In one drawing he posted in October of 2022, two vibrant gold Pharaoh heads are seen, one of which has the words “Antifa cloaks Tru” written over it, and “all angels passover with Tru’s redline on board” beneath it.

In another post from October, Stark wrote an extended, incoherent diatribe where he suggested he was being unfairly prosecuted for being transgender.

“I refuse to lay down and die,” Stark wrote. “I won’t commit suicide. Where I am is because of my choices to stand up for my rights as a trans woman and my rights as an American citizen. That does not remove the responsibility from the hands of those people who sold me out to be killed but told all the church people they knew the conversion therapy that her uncle the marriage counselor and his church have done to me.”

He continued: “I am not their child and I didn’t do anything to hurt any children physically or in any other way. I pray that the price they pay for killing me or sending me to prison for their crimes will never be known to me. May God have mercy on your body because your soul is chained to every rapist and child beater to pass over the gates of hell. While Tru Clayton Stark (Steele?), her soul will fly with those of a like mind who also choose to stand up for what they believe even if it meant our untimely departure from the motel plane. I will stand my ground against all enemies until there are no enemies. Thank you to anyone who has said a kind word or [prayer], I truly don’t know how I would have made it without those. I will miss you all when I am gone. Goodbye, til we meet again in the next life if we are so blessed.”

Beneath the post, some of Stark’s friends expressed concern for him. One user said “love you girl,” and offered Stark access to her storage locker, to which he replied that he was going to need a tent. This interaction occurred around the same time Stark is reported to have told his substance abuse counselor that he would “rather live in a tent” than stop using drugs.

Stark is due in court later today. He has entered a plea of not guilty on his charges related to the January 2022 kidnapping, and has yet to stand trial.

UPDATE 5/3/2023: Matthew Stark appeared in court this evening where he repeatedly berated the Judge because his wristband referred to him by his male name. Stark claimed it was a violation of his human rights.

The court assured him that he had been recorded under the name “Tru” in official documentation, and addressed him by “she/her” pronouns. His pretrial bail was set at $15,000.
