A trans-identified male and “recidivist pedophile” from Quebec who has been held in a women’s prison since his arrest has had his 32-month sentenced reduced after the court decided that his transgender status made incarceration “extremely difficult” for him. Krystel Lauzon, 39, was detained at the beginning of the year for the possession of child abuse materials, and Reduxx has now confirmed that he is serving his sentence at Leclerc women’s prison.
On January 11, having just been released from prison months prior for the production of child pornography, officers from the provincial police force’s Internet Sexual Exploitation of Children Investigation Team conducted a search of Lauzon’s devices. Authorities discovered Lauzon in the possession of depraved child pornography content. According to La Presse, the sadistic materials involved young girls, mostly under the age of ten, with some victims who were toddlers, being raped and forced into sexual activities with animals.
In September, Lauzon pleaded guilty to several counts related to the possession, production, and distribution of child pornography at Courthouse of Saint-Jérôme. The following month, Lauzon was handed a 32-month sentence, but a plea deal was struck which reduced his sentence to 18 months in a women’s provincial jail, followed by three years’ probation.
During court deliberations, Krystel Lauzon, who was known as Danny Lauzon as recently as 2020, was referred to with feminine pronouns, and news reports of his crimes, such as those published by L’Info Du Nord and CIME Laurentides, have similarly identified him as a “woman.”
Evidence presented in court revealed that Lauzon was active in pro-pedophile communities, where he was “advocating” for child sexual abuse. In 2020, Lauzon was arrested on child pornography charges after he was found to have filmed a 10-year-old girl in the shower, and then distributed the content on pedophile forums. He was also caught with hundreds of files depicting of child pornography.
He was then sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of production, distribution, and possession of child pornography. But due to COVID-19, there was a cessation in proceedings until 2022. Lauzon appears to have been released sometime around November of 2023 on conditions he quickly was found to have violated.
Upon his release from prison, Lauzon began sharing the disturbing materials with other pedophiles again. In a conversation cited in court, he had on at least one occasion invited another pedophile to masturbate together with him while viewing child pornography.
The judge overseeing Lauzon’s case highlighted that the sexual predator had advocated favorably for pedophilia to be considered a sexual orientation, saying: “[He] made very disturbing statements suggesting that [his] attraction to children wasn’t an illness, but rather simply a sexual orientation.” The judge continued that the “particularly odious nature of the files” involved young girls who were abused and “forced to submit to acts of bestiality.”
However, the judge agreed with defense attorney Stéphanie Gariépy that conditions of Lauzon’s detainment were “extremely difficult,” as he had been placed in a women’s jail but is often kept in “isolation” away from the female prisoners.
“Madame is a trans woman… The conditions of detention are unique… [He] is often excluded from the prison population.”
As Reduxx previously revealed, Lauzon has advocated for the medical ‘transitioning’ of children, which typically includes the use of drugs which halt the pubertal development of minors. As early as 2012, Lauzon was posting on social media about so-called “trans kids,” calling on parents to support children who were “made in a unique way.”
In an all-caps rant, Lauzon wrote: “I WILL POST AND RE-POST AS MANY TIMES AS NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN THAT CHILDREN WITH SPECIFIC NEEDS ARE NOT WEIRD, CRAZY, OR SICK … THEY ONLY WANT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE WANTS… TO BE ACCEPTED!! CAN I MAKE A QUESTION WILL ANYONE POST THIS MESSAGE IN HONOR OF ALL CHILDREN WHO WERE MADE IN A UNIQUE WAY. I’M GOING TO SEE WHO HAS A HEART I KNOW THE ONES WHO WILL COPY AND PASTE. WE ARE ALL HUMAN AFTER ALL…!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Disturbingly, Lauzon’s SoundCloud profile reveals that he had ‘liked’ an audio track of a child crying out in pain. Lauzon also frequently shared images to his Facebook account depicting young women and what appear to be teenage girls in sexual poses.
Posts shared to Lauzon’s Facebook page, where he describes himself as “a trans woman undergoing hormone therapy,” indicate that he had an obsession with a genre of pornography known as sissification, or sissy porn, which depicts men or boys being “transitioned” into young women or underage girls.
In one of the more common forms of the pornography genre, referred to as sissy captions, images typically depicting women in fetish gear or alternatively childish lace dresses are accompanied by written text suggesting that the women are biologically male. The images are seemingly designed to be disseminated widely, dodging censorship on platforms such as Facebook by avoiding the explicit use of pornography.
“You do realize that an addiction to sissy porn ends with you living as a woman, right?” reads one sissy caption shared by Lauzon in 2020. Lauzon captioned the image: “Already had it in me, but yeah, this is really what happened, lol.”
Lauzon is just one of many trans-identified male pedophiles currently being housed in women’s prisons across Canada. In addition to the Leclerc provincial prison, two trans-identified male pedophiles are being housed at the Fraser Valley Institution for women, a federal facility in British Columbia.
Among them is Adam Laboucan, also known as Tara Desousa, who is currently serving a rare indefinite sentence for the brutal rape of a 3-month-old infant. Laboucan is the youngest offender in Canadian history to be designated a dangerous offender by the court. The label is scarcely applied, and handed only to those offenders who are considered an extreme danger to the public with no foreseeable rehabilitative potential.
Laboucan’s incarceration at the facility has sparked concerns from the female inmate, as Fraser Valley features a minimum-security annex that hosts a program for incarcerated mothers and their babies. According to women at the prison, Laboucan, along with another transgender pedophile inmate, have been caught “staring” at the children in the annex.
