UK adoption agencies celebrate ‘LGBTQ+ Week’ urging more homosexuals to adopt children

From March 2 to 5, major U.K. adoption agencies sponsored “LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week,” spearheaded by the LGBT group “New Family Social.” The chosen theme was “Now is the time.”

“Coram, one of the early pioneers of LGBTQ+ adoption, welcomes enquiries from anyone in the [so-called] LGBTQ+ community who is thinking about adoption, and encourages them to make an enquiry or come along to one of our free adoption information sessions,” the U.K. adoption and fostering organization announced on its website.

“The number of children waiting to be adopted has increased by 45% in England over the past three years,” Coram stated. “Over 3,000 children in England are currently waiting to be matched with an adoptive family, with 1,500 of these children waiting for 18 months or more. In 2025, one in five adoptions in England were to same-gender couples.”

To introduce the idea of “alternative families” to children, Coram offers a number of children’s books, including Dad David, Baba Chris and MEIs It True You Have Two Mums?, and Josh and Jaz Have Three Mums.

Diagrama Foundation, a not-for-profit fostering and adoption organization, also urged people to “celebrate diverse families and encourage more same-sex couples to explore fostering and adoption.” Kate Patel, head of adoption and fostering, stated: “Approximately 20%, that’s 1 in 5 of all adoptions in England are by same-sex couples.”

“At Diagrama, we welcome applications from same-sex couples and want to reassure them that love, commitment, and stability are what matter most to children in need of a home. There are no barriers to forming a family because you are in a same sex relationship.”

Several other adoption organizations promoted the initiative as well, including Adopt Coast to CoastBuckinghamshire Adoption ServiceOne Adoption North and HumberAdoption Matters, and others.

Since 2010, it has been illegal to “discriminate” against homosexuals with regard to adoption – that is, to prioritize homes with both a mother and a father – and U.K. adoption agencies actively promote the placement of children in “alternative families.” In fact, the Metro UK published a column by Daniel Wood last December titled “I thought adoption was impossible as a single, gay man – I was wrong.”

“From the very first call, Adoption Matters never questioned my suitability to adopt based on my being single, male, and gay,” Wood wrote. “Their team offered a safe and caring space to talk openly, and I found the whole process overwhelmingly supportive.” Wood adopted a little boy named Freddie.

The promotion of homosexual adoption in the U.K. comes despite the utterly horrifying case last year of two “married” homosexual British men brutally abusing and killing a one-year-old baby who they were in the process of adopting. Similar cases have tragically been reported in recent years.

It was once taken for granted that children need both mothers and fathers. With the cultural success of the LGBT movement, this basic fact has been aggressively rejected – to the grave detriment of children. Millions of dollars are now spent on rebutting the idea that being motherless or fatherless is a tragedy, and even single homosexual men are permitted to acquire children, with the bold assertion being that the children in question will lose nothing by not having a mother.

Katy Faust, the founder of the children’s rights organization Them Before Us, launched the “Greater Than” campaign earlier this year to reestablish these basic facts, marshaling a “coalition of parents, students, researchers, think tanks, influencers, and citizens who are willing to state the self-evident but costly truth: children need, deserve, and have a right to their mother and father.”

“Children need, deserve, and have a right to both. Adoption and foster care are for children,” Faust noted on the “Greater Than” website. “They are the clients, not adults. Whenever possible children should be placed with a married mother and father, so they can receive the benefits that come from a male and female parent.”

Britain May Not Deploy an Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East After All

GROK

Downing Street plays down the possibility of the government deploying one of Britain’s two aircraft carriers to assist the defence of allies and British citizens in the Middle East, over a week after military strikes against Iran began.

Ten days into Operation Epic Fury and the United Kingdom still hasn’t deployed a warship to the Middle East, with air warfare destroyer HMS Dragon still days away from even leaving Britain, and the government now rubbishing the notion of sending an aircraft carrier.

While Downing Street spokesmen were happy to encourage speculation over the weekend on a potential deployment of HMS Prince of Wales — one of Britain’s large, modern supercarrier-size ships — they have now spun on their heels over the matter, deflecting away from the idea. The Portsmouth Evening News, which covers the home of the Royal Navy at the Portsmouth Naval Base, states Downing Street gave clear signals it wasn’t to happen.

The spokesman is reported to have said the decision to move the carrier up from 14 days readiness to sail to five on Saturday was not “linked to the Iranian activity”, and that “there is no decision taken to deploy her”.

More broadly, they claimed the government’s recent deployments to the Middle East had been “significant”: something that would come as a surprise to Britain’s allies in the region which have expressed alarm and dismay at Britain’s failure to deliver on the security they feel they are owed.

The UK has two carriers, the largest ships the Royal Navy has ever operated and some of the largest warships in world history. The first in class, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is now at the tail-end of a scheduled seven month refit in Scotland and may leave dry dock as soon as this month, but is unlikely to be ready to deploy for months after as it works up again after being out of the water since last summer.

Her sister ship, HMS Prince of Wales, has recently returned from an eight month deployment to the Indo-Pacific. While she remains the on-duty carrier, the stresses of the deployment has seen her alongside in Portsmouth for basic maintenance tasks before going to sea again. Parts of Prince of Wales’ flight deck were covered by large marquees and scaffolding in recent weeks but were in the process of being struck down over the weekend in the wake of the ship being put on heightened alert.

British state media the BBC reports that at this stage, according to their government sources, that Prince of Wales is actually to join a forthcoming NATO exercise in the Arctic.

That the Iran strikes came as the UK’s available carrier was being spruced up and re-provisioned at the end of a major deployment was “particularly inconvenient”, retired Royal Navy Commodore Steve Prest told armed forces news network BFBS, while observing there’s so much “hazard and tension” in the world, such an eventuality could have been foreseen.

Cdre. Prest observed the Royal Navy had lost around 1,500 trained sailors in the last year, enough to man ten frigates, and the United Kingdom is in a position where “even if we did have the hulls available, we probably don’t have the sailors to crew them”.

Indeed, even if the left-wing Labour government of Sir Keir Starmer now decided to send an aircraft carrier to the Middle East or eastern Mediterranean, such capital ships are extremely vulnerable without their attendant screen of escorts, and evidently the UK is presently struggling to generate those, too.

After decades of savage cuts to the military, as the government persistently found other priorities to for taxpayers’ money — health and welfare account for a third of the whole national budget — the Royal Navy has a skeleton force of destroyers and frigates. Indeed, of the just six destroyers in commission, not one was available to immediately deploy, and the supposed date of departure for Type-45 air warfare destroyer HMS Dragon continues to slip back.

Various reasons have been proposed for this delay, and the Armed Forces Minister Al Carns has even claimed, incredibly given air defence is the ship’s primary purpose, that the “vessel was being fitted out for a different task. We’ve now completely re-rolled it”, and this was taking time. Dragon spent days at the Portsmouth Upper Harbour Ammunition Facility last week — an isolated artificial island away from Portsmouth city and the dockyard, where the dangerous task of provisioning a ship can happen in comparative safety — and is reportedly back there today.

The Portsmouth Evening News notes no sailing is likely for days, meaning it is unlikely the Royal Navy will have an air warfare ship close to Britain’s allies in need of assistance defending themselves from Iranian drones for over two weeks after the conflict began. In 1982, the Royal Navy was able to pull together an armada of over 100 ships at short notice to retake the Falkland Islands from an Argentinian invasion.

The British newspaper of record The Times reported last week on the sense of outrage among Britain’s allies, who in some cases the UK has arrangements to maintain military bases on their land in return for an understanding over collaborative defence, and in others where large numbers of British expatriates live. There are two British bases on the island of Cyprus, although they are sovereign British territory, rather than being inside the political entity of the nation of Cyprus, and has military bases in Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

The paper cites a source in the UAE who is stated to have reflected: “There was a feeling that the prime minister had to be dragged there… It obviously reflects badly in the eyes of the Gulf Cooperation Council.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has been most excoriating of all, calling Britain a “once great ally” and reflecting it’s now too late to send ships. President Trumps said: “we don’t need them any longer… We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”.

Paris Women’s Day: The Wrong Fight

Collectif Némésis’ co-founder and director Alice Cordier and spokesman Astrid Mahé O’Chinal hold a sign with a drawing of Quentin Deranque, behind a banner saying “for our mothers, our sisters, our daughters,” during a rally at the International Women’s Day at Place Lorrain in Paris on March 8. Screengrab Instagram collectif.nemesis

The organisation of Women’s Day in Paris on Sunday, March 8th, gave rise to an intense political battle between the various movements responsible for championing women’s causes. On the Left, there has long been a refusal to name the real enemies of women; on the Right, attacks are multiplying against those who try to embody another struggle and face hostility from the authorities and violence in the streets.

A parade of various feminist groups is traditionally organised in the streets of Paris on Women’s Day. This year, the right-wing feminist group Collectif Némésis was not given permission to march with the main procession but had to arrange for its own parallel procession after pressure from other organisations.

This is a direct consequence of the assassination of nationalist activist Quentin Deranque in Lyon on February 12th. ‘Anti-fascists’ beat the young man to death while he was protecting members of the Némésis group during a protest against a pro-Palestinian MEP’s visit to a conference at the city’s Institute of Political Science. Since Quentin’s murder, the media and political Left have been pouring all their energy into placing the entire blame for the young man’s death on the shoulders of Collectif Némésis, accused of instigating the rise in street violence, while the small group La Jeune Garde, to which all the suspects involved in Quentin’s death belong, is at the same time benefiting from the authorities’ culpable complacency: a clear process of reversal of guilt.

Ahead of the day of the demonstration, the magazine Valeurs Actuelles obtained a document signed by the minister of the interior, Laurent Nuñez, explicitly expressing his support for left-wing feminist organisations, such as the CGT union and Planned Parenthood, in order to grant their request to ban the right-wing group from the Paris demonstration. In this letter, the minister also seems to raise the possibility of dissolving Collectif Némésis, as requested by the Left a few days earlier in a session of the National Assembly.

The minister explicitly requested that, in the event that a gathering organised by Némésis did take place, it be geographically separated from the main procession, effectively segregating them.

Valeurs Actuelles also obtained another document, this time addressed to prefects—local representatives of the state—asking them to check whether activists from Némésis planned to take part in Women’s Day marches and, if necessary, to ban them: “You will take all necessary measures, including, if necessary, a ban, to prevent this participation,” reads the ‘operational message’ from the ministry.

Collectif Némésis denounces the irresponsibility of the authorities in the face of the constant threats to which its members are subjected. The group’s founder Alice Cordier was threatened with a bullet to the head by Raphaël Arnault, founder of La Jeune Garde. The movement’s spokeswoman, Yona Faedda, had her address and those of her family members posted online but was denied police protection. “This decision gives the impression that it is the victims who are being punished, as is sometimes the case in harassment cases, where the preference is to remove the victims rather than address the underlying problem,” warns Amaury Bucco, a specialist in justice and police issues for Valeurs Actuelles.

Despite this pressure from high places, the Némésis group was able to organise its own demonstration, with an autonomous procession under police protection. Their supporters were there to honour the memory of the many female victims who have made headlines in recent years, having been killed by illegal immigrant attackers, such as 12-year-old Lola or 19-year-old Catholic student Philippine. “Our actions consist of displaying banners, as left-wing associations do,” Alice Cordier reminded the press. “They want to dissolve an association of victims, which denounces violence against women, which represents raped women?” she said indignantly. Cordier explained that she is fighting to ensure that French girls do not suffer the same fate as British girls who were subjected to grooming gangs across the Channel.

European MP Marion Maréchal, president of the Identité-Libertés movement, came to show her support for the Némésis movement, as did Rassemblement National (RN) MP Anne Sicard. “You are courageous; you are fighting for all women who have no voice, for all the forgotten victims, all those whose attackers are silenced so as not to contradict the supposed ‘living together,’” Maréchal said. Thierry Mariani, the RN candidate for mayor of Paris, was also present.

While the women of Némésis saw their right to protest challenged, left-wing feminists marched, carefully selecting their battles. Ahead of Women’s Day, a demonstration in Nancy saw pro-Palestinian ‘feminist’ activists clash with Iranian demonstrators celebrating the Israeli-American offensive against the mullahs’ regime, requiring police intervention.

In the name of a convergence of struggles driven by antisemitism, hatred of the West, and subservience to Islam, calls from “feminists” supporting the Iranian regime could be read on X: “As feminists, we demand the defeat of Israel and the United States, and the withdrawal of imperialist troops from the Middle East!” posted Louise, an activist with Du Pain et des Roses (Bread and Roses), “a collective that fights for the emancipation of all from an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and revolutionary perspective,” on Sunday, March 8th. The slogan “Jews, rapists, murderers” was heard in the official march in Paris on the same day. Several Iranian women’s associations were also troubled by the silence of official feminists regarding the persecution of women by the Khamenei regime.

The essayist Naima M’Faddel, a Franco-Moroccan essayist who is active in the right-wing Les Républicains party and defends a conservative stance on immigration, had these bitter words to say about this lamentable drift: 

There is complete disdain for those who do not fit the category of the “good victim,” the one who would reinforce the overarching narrative of systemic Western patriarchy. …This is how a cause that should unite all women, without hierarchy or ideological sorting, withers away. A cause that does not discriminate among its victims.

‘How can women trust the system if gang rapists can’t be deported?’ — Meloni slams Italian judges for blocking expulsion of dangerous foreign criminals

Giorgia Meloni © European Union, 1998 – 2025, Attribution, via Wikimedia Commons

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has sharply criticized judicial decisions blocking the detention of migrants transferred to Albania, citing the case of a Moroccan rapist with a long criminal record whom authorities say they cannot detain or deport after he applied for international protection.

Speaking to RTL 102.5, Meloni said some court rulings preventing the continued detention of migrants transferred to Italian processing centers in Albania were “surreal” and undermined public safety.

“I also wonder where the feminists are in the face of these events,” Meloni said during the interview, referring to the case of one of the migrants, Moroccan national Fathallah Ouardi, who had been transferred to Albania but was later returned to Italy after judges refused to validate his detention.

Meloni said the man had a lengthy criminal record. “The record of one of these migrants includes convictions for drug dealing, resisting a public official, conspiracy to commit sexual assault, and gang rape,” she said, as cited by Secolo d’Italia.

According to the prime minister, the court rejected the detention order after the migrant applied for international protection.

“This is someone who entered Italy illegally, started dealing drugs, and gang-raped a woman — we can’t detain him, we can’t send him to Albania, we can’t repatriate him, and we’re almost forced to grant him international protection,” she said, adding that such decisions raise serious questions about the protection of victims and public confidence in the justice system.

“How can we guarantee the safety of citizens like this?” she asked. “These decisions are surreal; they affect not the government’s work but citizens’ rights, first and foremost, the right to safety.”

“What trust can a woman who has been gang-raped have in the system if her rapist can’t even be deported?” she added. “I also wonder where the feminists of ‘Non una di meno’ are on these issues.”

The Italian leader also defended her government’s migration policies, including the controversial use of offshore migrant processing centers in Albania.

“I am determined to do what the citizens have asked me to do: a tough policy on irregular immigration, including with new tools like the centers in Albania,” Meloni said. “Even though some are trying everything they can to prevent it, I am determined on this and am willing to work three times, four times, ten times harder if necessary.”

Remix News provided reporting this week on another Moroccan national accused of raping a 26-year-old woman in Bottanuco in what was a sustained attack over the course of an evening. The suspect was born in 1987 and has accumulated a series of criminal charges and convictions in Italy over more than a decade.

Authorities say he was investigated for drug trafficking between 2014 and 2015 and charged with illegal immigration in 2015. Records also list illegal entry and residence in Trentino in 2016 and theft in 2017.

Court documents further list convictions including resisting a public official and drug trafficking in 2014, as well as participation in sexual assault and gang sexual assault in 2018. A further drug trafficking conviction was recorded in 2025.

Europe needs severity: Mass deportations, even re-migration, must occur

On the surface, it would seem that Europe’s establishmentarians are finally waking up. At the lead is Denmark, which has always been one of the few Social Democrat-run countries to understand the politics around migration. Ahead of their national elections, the country has announced a startling new initiative: Making it easy to deport people.

Or at least, that’s what the headlines said. The reality is much dicier: Copenhagen has decided to make it so anyone who has been sentenced to at least one year in prison eligible for deportation. The new policy does not mean that they will actually be deported, and the Danish government has acknowledged that their new policy may violate European human rights conventions, meaning it may never even get off the ground.

But Denmark’s strategy of keeping new migrants out and putting the façade of deportation on those who are here is, slowly, being co-opted across Europe. The United Kingdom send a fact-finding team to Copenhagen in order to copy their policies. The result? Refugees will have their status reviewed every 30 months, being returned if it is “safe”. Of course, that only will happen if a) the person is still legally a refugee and has not obtained some other status, such as a student visa, b) if their country is deemed “safe,” something any intelligent bureaucrat can get around, and c) if it does not violate a European rights convention.

Belgium’s government, for their part, has even said it would ignore a court ruling which claimed it was illegal to reject refugees who had already been accepted by other counties. But it seems to be only a matter of time before Belgium buckles here, too.

Courts have not only been a problem in Belgium. In Sweden, a court ruled that a 15-year-old who murdered someone for pay could not be deported. Why? Because he had no connection to Somalia, having come from there when he was three. Unlike Belgium, the Swedish government was too cowardly to ignore the ruling.

Still though, European leaders are by and large coming around to the idea that borders should not be completely open. Over ten years after Angela Merkel declared “We can do it,” Brussels is finally figuring out that they actually cannot. This year, the new “Pact on Migration” will go into effect, changing how new migrants are spread around the continent and allowing deportation to “safe” third-party countries.

But the solution proposed is not solving a current day problem – it’s solving a problem from over a decade hence. 

Even ten years ago, closing the borders would not have been enough. In 2015, over 1 million migrants came to Europe by sea alone – meaning in 2016 closing the borders would have been a half-measure. In the decades since, that number has exploded into millions of refugees, asylum seekers, “students,” “workers,” and families of the aforementioned groups.

Spreading new migrants around and allowing sporadic deportations to third countries is a 2015 solution in 2026, and it underlines a serious issue: That Europe’s solutions will not be enough.

Look at the slow pace of deportations in 2026. When Germany deports a single criminal Syrian, it garners headlines. When they deport 20 Afghans to Kabul, it seems as if they have actually done something. Which they have not, of course. There are at least 461,000 Afghan refugees in Germany. Deporting 20 per week would take Germany about 443 years, assuming that the population remains static (it won’t, given their high birth rates).

To actually solve the problem, truly mass deportations – even re-migration — must occur. Europe will need a level of harsh severity it has not had for a very long time.

To start, anyone convicted of a crime should be automatically deported. There should be no year cut-off, nor should there be an appeal. There should be jailtime and then a one-way ticket to the airport (unlike in Spain, where you simply are fined for raping children). To ensure that this swiftness can occur, any populist-right party which takes power should immediately act to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. No action has been taken because of its nomenclature – how could one leave? Don’t you see the sign? It says “human rights”! – and as a result, the ECHR has become something of a supranational constitution, overriding member states’ constitutions as it pleases. Appeals and endless delays turn what should be mind-numbingly simple processes into decades-long sagas; one simple deportation is extended into something which is ultimately never carried out.

There then needs to be a discussion of denaturalisation. The Trump administration has been expanding its efforts here, but as the topic is relatively new, it is still piecemeal. Europeans should not shrink from this. Deportation of only a few sex criminals and murderers will do nothing to stop the cultural replacement which has been ongoing (in Spain – again – schools have been instructed to take special care to create an inclusive experience for students practicing Ramadan).

The populist-right has continued to gain steam through the West as establishmentarians have doubled-down, on the promise of undoing what Brussels has wrought. But if they gain power and then do not change the Western paradigm, they will be rejected by voters. They must be bold and unafraid of action.

There is not an unlimited amount of time to act here. In a decade or so, the fight may become too difficult to carry out to its conclusion. The line must be drawn here. And the ascendent nationalists must be the ones to draw it.

German Children Forced to Eat Furtively During Ramadan

AI generator

For the time being, German children are still allowed to eat during Ramadan — but they might have to do it furtively.

Via Allah’s Willing Executioners:

The Joseph Beuys Comprehensive School in Kleve … presents itself confidently on its website, pandering to the zeitgeist as a ‘school with courage’ and a ‘school of diversity’.

“Diversity” is Liberalese for native culture being progressively eradicated in favor of the customs of foreign invaders.

Since the beginning of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, one rule in particular has been causing controversy. Children who eat during break time are required to turn away from their classmates, as their fasting Muslim classmates might find this disturbing.

This compromise was the teacher’s idea. Muslim classmates had demanded that German kids throw their food in the garbage in honor of Allah, while making “gagging and vomiting noises” to shame them for eating. When they have the numbers, they will get their way.

For now,

If children are only allowed to eat their lunch secretly with their eyes averted in future, then this is less an educational solution and more a symbol of submission.

A culture that will not defend itself will not exist for long.

UK: Universities which let extremism run riot to be shut amid Islamist fears on campuses

Wikimedia Commons, Samuel Friedrich Klein, CC-BY-SA-4.0

Universities that fail to tackle extremism on campus could face sanctions and even be forced to close, the Education Secretary has said.

The warning comes as part of Labour’s “social cohesion strategy“, set to be launched this week, which will identify Islamic extremism as the primary danger to social cohesion in the country, according to a leaked draft.

Under the plans, university vice-chancellors will be issued advice on how to conduct stricter checks on visiting speakers to ensure they do not spread extremist material or commit criminal offences on campuses.

The strategy will also see a scaled-up Home Office unit dedicated to blocking extremists coming to Britain.

Fears of growing extremism on British campuses have been rising in recent years.

The Government’s strategy comes just weeks after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) pulled funding for its youth to come to Britain to study over fears they may return radicalised by Islamists on campuses.

Gulf countries, including the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, have taken increasingly tough stances on Islamist groups, all proscribing the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror organisation – something Britain is yet to do.

Ms Phillipson said that while Britain’s universities should be “places of rigorous debate and opportunity”, they should never be places where students “feel unsafe because of who they are or what they believe”.

Existing anti-terror laws require universities to work alongside Prevent – the Government’s preventative approach to tackling radicalisation.

The Office for Students – the the independent statutory regulator for higher education – will be handed greater powers by the Government to enforce universities to comply with their anti-extremism duties.

Institutions which fall short of their obligations could face an intervention by the watchdog, with severe penalties and even closure as possible punishments.

According to a leaked copy of the strategy, it warns that Britain’s “historic social cohesion” is “under threat” by mass migration and social media.

While the document calls for “respect for different cultures”, it notes that integration is “a two-way street”, insisting that “newcomers have a responsibility to engage with and embrace what it means to be British”.

It reads: “For many living in the UK, the changes brought about by mass migration have been too much, too quickly, leaving people feeling as though they are losing their local and national identity.”

The document came under fire earlier this week after a leaked copy dubbed the flying of English, Scottish and Union flags on lampposts as a “tool of hate”.

Within the report, national symbols were described as being deployed at times last summer to “exclude or intimidate” communities.

The remarks reference campaigns up and down the country last year – dubbed Operation Raise the Colours – that encouraged displaying national flags on streets, lamp-posts and other public areas.

The Education Secretary said: “Many universities are already working tirelessly to support their students and uphold the law, and they deserve our backing, which is why we are taking action to strengthen the support available to them.

“Free speech is a core pillar of our society and our universities, but we must also be clear about where the line is drawn.

“There must be no place for hate crimes, intimidation or attempts to draw students into terrorism.”

Transgender Pedophile Being Held At Women’s Prison In Maine While Serving 40-Year Sentence For Child Sexual Assault

A transgender sex offender is now being held at a women’s prison in Maine while serving a 40-year sentence for the repeated sexual assault of a young girl. Nathan “Natasha” Venable was referred to as a “woman” by news outlets who covered his conviction, with none giving any indication he was male.

Venable has a lengthy sexual offense record dating back to 2007, when he was convicted of possessing 32,000 still images and 763 videos of child sexual abuse while serving in the US Army. Venable was sentenced to 5 months in prison, ordered to a lifetime registration on the state’s sex offender registry, and was designated a sexual predator. But following his release, he left Illinois and began living in different states.

In Washington, he was charged with failing to register as a sex offender, but appears to have left the state prior to being arrested. Venable eventually settled in Maine.

Local news reports from the time of his arrest indicate there were two young victims, but one case was never prosecuted. The second victim appears to have moved to Maine with Venable and her mother, though their exact relationship is unknown.

Venable began sexually abusing the victim when she was 10 years old while the two lived in close proximity in another state. After moving to Maine, the abuse continued on an “almost daily basis,” according to Central Maine, which referred to Venable as a “woman” throughout their coverage.

The child eventually confided in her mother about her abuse in 2022, prompting law enforcement to get involved. The mother then confronted Venable in a phone call she recorded and gave to police as evidence. In the call, Venable claimed he did not remember sexually assaulting the child.

While investigating Venable, police also found a trove of child sexual abuse material on his devices, almost all of which depicted the victim.

Venable was ultimately charged with 22 counts related to the sexual abuse of the young girl, and an additional 14 counts of possession of sexually explicit materials.

During his trial, Venable’s lawyer attempted to mitigate his crimes by citing his mental health and claiming that he genuinely did not remember repeatedly sexually abusing his victim over the course of three years.

His lawyer also referenced his military service, noting he had an “outstanding record” and had won numerous commendations prior to being arrested for possessing child sexual abuse material.

Venable ultimately pleaded guilty, and Superior Court Justice Michaela Murphy sentenced him to 30 years in prison on charges of gross sexual assault of a child, and another 10 years on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor. Venable is currently expected to be released in 2060.

At the time of his conviction, Venable was already identifying as a “woman” and was referred to by feminine pronouns by media outlets covering his trial.

Local news outlet Central Maine referred to Venable as a “Monmouth woman,” and did not mention his transgender identity a single time in their coverage, leading readers to believe he was female.

On March 6, women’s rights advocate and journalist Jennifer Gingrich reported that a female inmate had informed her that Venable was being held at the Maine Correctional Center for women.

According to his profile on the Maine Department of Corrections website, Venable is classified as a “female” inmate.

Venable is not the only dangerous male inmate being housed at the women’s prison in Maine.

Andrew “Andrea” Balcer is also at the facility, where he is serving a 40-year sentence for murdering his parents and their dog.

Balcer was just one month shy of his eighteenth birthday when he murdered his mother, father, and family dog on Halloween night in 2016. According to reports at the time, Balcer had woken his mother and told her that he was having trouble sleeping. Alice Balcer asked her son if he was having a rough night and embraced him and, while she was attempting to soothe him, he stabbed her in the back nine times, killing her.

Balcer went on to murder his father, Antonio, and their pet chihuahua, Lily. The only member of the family Balcer spared was his older brother, whom he allowed to flee after telling him “it’s not your day.”

Balcer reportedly laughed while describing his crimes to a police officer, with the young man calling 911 himself to confess his crimes. 

“I snapped. I took my little Ka-Bar [military combat knife] there and I drove it straight into my mother’s back,” Balcer said. “My father came up because he heard her screams and I stabbed the fuck out of him. Oh, I killed the dog, too. It was barking.”

During the years-long court proceedings, Balcer’s attorneys cited his family’s lack of support for his gender transition as a motive for the crime. But just days before he was scheduled to plead guilty, Balcer abruptly began accusing his mother and father of physical and sexual abuse. Disturbingly, Balcer claimed his mother had molested him when he was between the ages of 14 and 16. 

The shocking allegations were vehemently denied by Balcer’s older brother, who rejected the entire attempted narrative.

Balcer was recently highlighted in a sympathetic article on trans inmates by Uncloseted Media, which framed him as being a victim of Trump-era changes to federal inmate housing guidelines which restricts the transfer of males to women’s federal prisons.

Speaking to Uncloseted MediaBalcer complained about how he was “bullied” by US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who described him as a “giant, 6-foot-1, 245-pound guy.” Balcer also says some women at his facility began to target him with transphobic rhetoric he claims was inspired by Bondi. 

“The cultural backlash has been astounding,” Balcer told Uncloseted Media. “And it’s not that I don’t understand these women — I 100% understand their position … But they can’t take out their anger on the people who quite frankly deserve it, [so] they take out their anger on the people that are the indirect cause of this.”

Though the federal government can’t influence housing policies in state prisons, in April of 2025, the Trump administration pulled $1.4 million in federal funds from Maine’s Department of Corrections for continuing to allow male inmates to be housed in women’s prisons.

DOJ-Released Picture Shows Disgraced Former Prince Andrew With Trafficking Victim in His Lap, as His Daughter Eugenie Has To Resign From Charity Over Relentless Epstein Scandal

DOJ-released image shows Andrew with a presumed Epstein victim – and a Wiki Commons picture of his daughter Eugenie.

Another week, another ‘Randy Andy’ scandal.

By now, having lost all his British royal perks, titles, and honors, having been arrested, currently under investigation, one could imagine that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, exiled in a Sandringham farm, couldn’t care less if yet another compromising picture of him has been released by the US DOJ.

But, in fact, it’s the compounding effect this has on his investigation, and also the consequences being faced by his daughters.

A man performs a physical maneuver on a person lying on the floor in a domestic setting.

The undated images, small and low resolution, are among the 180,000 photographs released by the DOJ under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

They’re more of a blur, these new photos, but they keep the spotlight on Andrew after a slew of compromising photos and documents destroyed whatever was left of his life.

Prince Andrew and Princess Eugenie appear together, both dressed formally, with a serious expression against a black background.
Eugenie is suffering the consequences for her father’s alleged crimes.

In the meantime, people around Andrew are also suffering grave reputational damage.

His daughter, Princess Eugenie, had to resign from her role in an anti-slavery charity, as the relentless fallout from the Epstein documents continues.

Page Six reported:

“[She] served for seven years as a patron of Anti-Slavery International.

On Sunday, the princess, 35, stepped away from her role at the world’s oldest human rights organization, the Observer reported.

The charity said in a statement to the outlet, ‘After seven years, our patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end. We thank the Princess very much for her support for Anti-Slavery International. We hope that she continues to work to end slavery for good and deliver freedom for everyone’.”
