A prolific sex offender is accused of exposing himself to women and children in girls’ locker rooms at public schools and community centers in Virginia while claiming to be a transgender woman.
Richard Cox, a 58-year-old, balding pervert on the highest level of the sex offender registry, appeared in court in Arlington on Thursday and repeatedly insisted he is now a woman and demanded the prosecutor be ordered to stop misgendering him.
However, the judge declined to do so — noting how dozens of horrified witnesses had seen he was physically still a male when he stripped naked and touched himself in local public locker rooms.
In one case, Cox — whose lengthy rap sheet of sex crimes stretches more than 30 years — was accused of spying on women while naked in changing rooms shared by a high school that allows people to use bathrooms based on their chosen gender identity.
One disturbed mother also said she and her 5-year-old daughter went to use a public women’s locker at a school after a swim class when she saw Cox touching himself while nude in a shower stall with the curtain open, WJLA reported.
