An 18-year-old transgender woman has pleaded guilty to the brutal murder of a 12-year-old girl she allegedly had a sexual relationship with.
Ash Cooper will spend at least 15 years in prison after she admitted to the shooting death of Morgan Connors in the trailer she shared with her father in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, in November 2022.
Police say the teen called a female friend on Instagram video after the murder and showed off Connors' body covered in blood and asked for help disposing of it.
When she was arrested Cooper reportedly told cops the murder was an accident and that and she was sorry and scared of going to jail for the rest of his life.
Cooper was initially charged as Joshua Cooper but began transitioning after her arrest, with her lawyer asking the court to call her Ash.
The teen claimed she had been cleaning out her dad's safe and going through his guns and ammo before Connors was dropped off at her house. She claimed her dad removed the safe's battery which enabled the combination lock.
Cooper, who was 16 at the time of the murder, also allegedly told police she and Connors were in a sexual relationship.
'It’s a horrible tragedy,' said Bucks County Court Judge Jeffrey L. Finley. 'A tragedy no family should ever have to undergo.'
Police were called to the murder scene a woman called 911 saying her daughter had received a video call from Cooper, who said he had killed someone before he flipped the camera and showed Connors' bloody legs and feet.
According to court documents, Connors was found laying facedown with her pants around her ankles and a gunshot to the back.
Her cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the neck and upper chest area.

What a liar he is.
15 years only?
15 years for murder?
I know a guy who served 17 for selling cocaine, it wasn’t even crack cocaine.
Does being “transgender” knock this much time off of a murder sentence?
It is a serious mental disorder and no amount of acceptance/tolerance will ever change that truth.
These people require intense professional help and denying that fact is destructive and dangerous to all involved.
Amen to that.
Who says crime doesn’t pay?
“ According to court documents, Connors was found laying facedown with her pants around her ankles and a gunshot to the back.”
****************************************************
This vicious child-murderer should spend his life in prison but he’ll be out in his early thirties at the latest. And he now wants to be “Trans”so he can serve his tine with girls and women.
Wrong title, should be “A mentally disturbed man....”
It wouldn't surprise me considering he started transitioning AFTER the murder.
Some people prefer pandering to these seriously mentally ill, delusional people — seriously mentally ill people who are on seriously strong drugs — rather than helping them get the mental therapy they so desperately need ... and they feel so noble with their pandering.
Sentence was 15 to 40 years. We can only hope HE serves close to the maximum.
I got friends did almost twice that for freighter weed
No guns
An 18 year old mentally disturbed delusional “man” raped and murdered a 12 year old girl.
Right?
Put the shitbird in general population in the MEN’S prison, where it belongs. Make sure the inmates know what it did.
It’s not really justice, but it can be a reasonable facsimile thereof ...
Toxic Tranny Syndrome strikes again.
Exactly. Ash is just a mentally challenged man pretending to be female.
Mentally ill male pedophile who likes to pretend he’s a girl killed one of his sexual assault victims?
15 years for murder. He’ll probably get out a lot sooner than that. It would be a real shame if some righteous vigilante, possibly one of the victims family members or just a concerned citizen were to administer some final justice to this freak. It would be an even bigger tragedy if it was a very well planned hit and the perpetrater were to get away with it. It might even start a trend.
