A trans-identified male and “recidivist pedophile” residing in Quebec has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography for the second time. Krystel Lauzon, 39 of Val-David, was detained on January 11 after officers from the provincial police force’s Internet Sexual Exploitation of Children Investigation Team conducted a search of his residence and his computer was seized for forensic analysis.
While details on the case are limited, it is known that this is not Lauzon’s first run-in with the police for child sexual exploitation material.
In 2020, Lauzon was arrested for the possession of child abuse materials but, due to COVID-19, there was a cessation in proceedings until 2022. He was then sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of production, distribution, and possession of child pornography. But Lauzon appears to have been released sometime before November of 2023 with conditions he quickly was found to have violated.
In the reporting of his most recent arrest, Lauzon was referred to as a “woman” by most French-language news outlets, including L’Info Du Nord and CIME Laurentides.
Reduxx has discovered several social media profiles belonging to Lauzon that contain disturbing content.
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 also frequently shared images to his Facebook account depicting young women and what appear to be teenage girls in sexual poses. He also has made several posts about medically feminizing young boys.
In 2021, Lauzon supportively shared a message from Amy Fournier, a trans activist who began medical interventions at the age of 16.
“I want to say that a transition does not change your child’s mind in any way, it is only the physical that changes. He remains the same person. And I think that the only thing that should matter to a parent is seeing their child happy,” Fournier wrote, continuing: “I HAVE A PENIS AND I AM A GIRL. I was 7 years old when I realized I liked men. And I knew around 8 years old that I was different.”
As early as 2012, Lauzon himself was posting 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 WANT… 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 is not the first trans-identified male to make headlines for child sex offenses in Canada since the beginning of the year.
As previously reported by Reduxx, a violent transgender sex offender in Alberta with a history of making toddler sex abuse material was released from prison in January only to be re-arrested days later on new offenses.
Laverne Travis Waskahat, 47, had an extensive history of possessing, making and publishing child pornography involving male and female infants under three years old. Waskahat had also previously committed sexual offences against children in his care and was known to take voyeuristic photos of infants in public, primarily in bathrooms at malls and grocery stores.
In Ontario, another transgender child rapist and serial sex offender, Patrick Pearsall, was recently released to a halfway house after having been detained for part of his sentence at the Milton-Vanier Centre for Women.
Pearsall, who also uses the names Tara Pearsall and Passion-Star Royale, was released in January after being convicted for preying on young girls online by impersonating a paramedic, which afforded him the opportunity to perform vaginal exams on unsuspecting victims.
