A court has cited “transphobia” as a factor in a shockingly lenient sentence handed pedophile man who identifies as a woman. Autumn Tulip Harper, 25, was sentenced to just four years after being found guilty of molesting his five-year-old daughter in Australia.

Reduxx states that Australian law enforcement identified Harper after American law enforcement arrested another pedophile he had been chatting with online in 2023. Harper sent the arrested American child abuse material (CSAM) over the platform Discord.

Following his identification, Haprer’s home was raided by police, who found 77 CSAM files on his phone, many of which contained his own daughter. He is said to have been in a bizarre slave-like relationship with the American pedophile, who was the one requesting the CSAM abuse videos and pictures. Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis decided Harper sent the American the CSAS largely because he made Harper feel “validated… as a woman and a sexual person.”

During Harper’s trial, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Rajan Darjee portrayed the transgender as a “woman” who had been pressured by a man into molesting a child. Dr. Darjee even claimed Harper did not need sex offender treatment, stating Harper was “low risk” for reoffending.

Judge Karapanagiotidis sympathized with Harper as having experienced “transphobia” and a mother who was allegedly “homophobic,” also noting that the mother of his molested child had not recognized his new gender identity.

Harper was sentenced to just four years and nine months out of a possible maximum of 25 years.
