To explain, let\u2019s start with a story.<\/p>\n<p>Tremaine Carroll is awaiting trial on rape charges, but the identity of his alleged victim might be a surprise: She was his cellmate at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/facility-locator\/ccwf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Central California Women\u2019s Facility<\/a>, a state prison that isn\u2019t supposed to have men in it, and Carroll is a three-strikes prisoner <a href=\"https:\/\/ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov\/details?cdcrNumber=H73384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">serving a long sentence<\/a> for repeated felonies, including violent crimes. A woman was locked in a prison cell at night with a provably dangerous man, and it happened at a women\u2019s prison.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations are years old now, but Carroll\u2019s path to trial has been slowed by a side issue: A Madera County Superior Court judge <a href=\"https:\/\/abc30.com\/post\/pronoun-use-center-rape-case-involving-former-chowchilla-prisoner\/15684307\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rebuked prosecutors<\/a> in 2024 for alleging that \u201che\u201d raped his cellmate, <a href=\"https:\/\/womensliberationfront.org\/news\/update-court-transcript-shows-california-da-forced-to-call-alleged-male-rapist-sheher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ordering<\/a> that documents and testimony in the case respect the defendant\u2019s declaration that he uses female pronouns (while Carroll has been returned to a men\u2019s prison to await that trial).

Gavin Newsom. The law requires that transgender, nonbinary, and intersex state prisoners be \u201choused at a correctional facility designated for men or women based on the individual\u2019s preference.\u201d Announcing that he was a woman, Carroll was imprisoned with women. In California, men convicted of violent felonies can be incarcerated at women\u2019s prisons by declaring themselves women. You can see all of the resulting respect and dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 132 author Scott Wiener will soon be leaving the California State Senate and taking up a new job, replacing Pelosi in the House of Representatives. Get to know the man, because you\u2019ll be seeing his face on the national stage:<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Incredibly, SB 132 may not be Wiener\u2019s most damaging legislation. The journalist Abigail Shrier has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/predators-paradise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credibly argued<\/a> that this uniquely damaging figure played a significant role in turning California into a \u201cpredator\u2019s paradise\u201d and a \u201csafe haven for human trafficking.\u201d Wiener was the author of <a href=\"https:\/\/legiscan.com\/CA\/text\/SB357\/id\/2326806\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SB 357<\/a>, which (in Shrier\u2019s accurate description) \u201cdecriminalized loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution.\u201d The problem with that choice is that it sharply limited the ability of police to question women and girls who appear to be engaged in street prostitution, because they aren\u2019t yet committing a crime. That means it\u2019s harder for police to communicate with minors being forced into prostitution by violence and threats.<\/p>\n<p>After the passage of Wiener\u2019s SB 357, Shrier writes, \u201cpolice stopped making arrests for crimes that would no longer be charged. The anti-loitering statute had provided the grounds for officers to question women and children whom they suspected might be trapped in a prostitution ring.\u201d After that development, the prevalence of child prostitution on Los Angeles streets has become so ugly that even the New York Times has noticed it, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/10\/26\/magazine\/sex-trafficking-girls-la-figueroa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long report<\/a> on \u201cthe trafficked girls of L.A.\u2019s Figueroa Street.\u201d The problem has also gone statewide:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"San Diego Police Chief discusses SB357 and human trafficking\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V8V2TEXvUCI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Another Wiener bill passed in 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/legiscan.com\/CA\/text\/SB145\/id\/2208284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SB 145<\/a>, ended the requirement that adults convicted on sex crime charges involving minors be added to the sex offender registry, unless the offender and his victim had an age difference over 10 years. If you\u2019re an adult in California and you sodomize minors, you know who to thank when you don\u2019t have to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n<p>You might begin to spot a pattern. It used to be a felony in California to knowingly expose a sexual partner to HIV by having unprotected sex without disclosure of being HIV-positive.
