A former New Hampshire state representative and the nation’s first transgender-identifying state lawmaker was arrested by police this week and charged for allegedly distributing child pornography.
Stacie Marie Laughton, a Democrat who previously resigned twice from the New Hampshire state house, is now facing four counts of distributing sexually explicit images of children. Laughton was born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr.
Nashua Police Department public information officer Sgt. John Cinelli said that police were called to respond to a juvenile incident on Tuesday and were then told that the former lawmaker had been distributing explicit images. On Thursday, police searched Laughton’s house and arrested him.
“They spoke with reporting parties that indicated Laughton distributed sexually explicit images of children,” Cinelli said, according to Patch. “Detectives from the special investigations division were assigned to further the investigation. They applied for and were granted a warrant for Laughton’s arrest.”
Laughton is slated to be arraigned on Friday at the Hillsborough County Superior Court-South.
The 39-year-old has been plagued by repeated legal troubles in the past. In 2008, he was convicted of credit card felony, according to the New Hampshire Union-Leader. In 2012, Laughton became the first transgender-identifying person elected as a state lawmaker, thrilling LGBT activists.
“I believe that at this point, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community will hopefully be inspired,” Laughton said at the time. “My hope is that now maybe we’ll see more people in the community running, maybe for alderman. Maybe in the next election, we’ll have a senator.”
Shortly after the election, Laughton stepped down after the credit card fraud allegations came to light. Laughton was later sentenced to six months in jail after reporting a bomb threat to a hospital in 2015. In July 2021, Laughton was arrested for giving police false information.

NO ONE saw that coming.../s
Why am I not surprised?.........................
I don’t know the background, but how does one resign twice? I resign, followed by I really, really resign?
Just like the idiots that voted for the Kenyan in an effort “to be a part of history”, and those who voted for Biden “to stop the hate”, voting one’s emotions is disastrous.
But drag shows....👍
The police there must be homophobic or transphobic. And pedos can’t be faulted for how they are or what they do. It’s just as natural as being a transsexual. ;-)
And the sun rose in the east this morning.
NH State Rep is not a big enough position to get away with it.
They represent Nashua? My understanding is that this is where a lot of the Massachusetts liberals moved after they ruined their own state.
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Every single time. At this point lgbtqabcdef is synonymous with paedophilia.
Another “historical” milestone is achieved, and during Pride Month appropriately.
Well....... PRIDE goes before the fall! ...signed, God
