A U.S. Circuit Court upheld the life sentence of Robert William Perry II, a trans-identified male convicted of sexually abusing his 7-year-old stepdaughter. Perry, who used “she/her” pronouns during the trial, coerced the child into performing sexual acts from 2017 to 2018 while offering her candy and video games. The abuse was revealed when the victim confided in a friend at school. Although a principal dismissed the child's claims, a teacher intervened, leading to a formal investigation. Perry's initial conviction was overturned due to jurisdiction issues but was reinstated in a federal trial where he admitted to untreated psychiatric conditions. After the conviction, Perry's defense filed an appeal claiming prosecutorial misconduct, which was rejected by the appellate court. Perry's defense is seeking a rehearing while he remains incarcerated, with potential housing accommodations based on his gender identity.
