A prominent transgender activist in Philadelphia has been accused of raping two children.
Kendall Stephens, 37, was arrested on Monday and charged with a slew of sex crimes against the minors.
Exact details of the allegations have not been released, but she appeared at a preliminary arraignment in Philadelphia Municipal Court the same day.
Sources told ABC7 the alleged offences were committed against two boys under the age of 13.
Police said its Special Victims Unit received reports of previous sexual assaults on two minor children in September 2023. Stephens was arrested following a ‘comprehensive investigation’.
She is charged with rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with minors, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with minors, indecent assault against people less than 13 years of age, obscenity to minors and endangering the welfare of children.
The LGBTQ+ campaigner became known in her local community after she turned to activism following a vicious hate crime against her.
