She sexually assaulted a 10-year-old in a women’s restroom at Denny’s restaurant. But she was two weeks shy of her 18th birthday. And identified as a male named James Tubbs at the time of the assault.
Eight years later, after her arrest, Tubbs began identifying as a woman, according to prosecutors. And Gascón refused to file a motion to move the case into adult court.
Jailhouse conversation made public
Gascón has previously insisted his handling of the Hannah Tubbs case was appropriate. But Hannah Tubbs’ jailhouse comments are going viral.
Yahoo reported that in her jailhouse conversations with her father, Hannah claimed “nothing” would happen to her. And she cited the prosecutor’s day-one directives barring “children” from being tried as adults as protecting her from any consequences.
And then claimed that nothing would happen because of the lenient policies that Gascon has in place.
She told her dad in the recorded call that she won’t have to register as a sex offender. She also made explicit remarks about the victim that are too obscene to be made public.
