The first openly trans lawmaker who was once celebrated as a historic political figure has now pleaded guilty to federal child sex abuse charges involving children as young as three years old. The scale and nature of the crimes are horrifying. Laughton faces up to 30 years in federal prison.
“Stacie-Marie” Laughton, a biological male who identifies as a woman, entered a guilty plea in a federal Boston court for charges related to their participation in the creation of child sexual abuse material. Laughton, 41, served as a Democratic state Rep. in New Hampshire until 2022.
The state representative and his romantic partner, Lindsay Groves, were indicted on three counts of sexual exploitation of children in August 2023.

Groves, who worked at a daycare in Tynsborough, Massachusetts, took naked photos of some of the children between the ages of three to five in the daycare bathroom and send them to Laughton.

What Democrats once hailed as a milestone moment in state politics has collapsed into one of the most disturbing criminal cases imaginable — a stark reminder that media narratives and political symbolism can never substitute for character, scrutiny, or the rule of law.
