You can be arrested for that?
Jessica Yaniv was arrested for the assault of a Canadian journalist on over the weekend. According to Keean Bexte, the journalist who was assaulted by Yaniv on camera outside of the B.C. courts on January 14, 2020, Yaniv spent time behind bars on the charge of assault. She may face up to five years for the assault.
That same day, Yaniv falsely accused TPM‘s own Amy Eileen Hamm of sexual assault while at the courtroom. Hamm is suing Yaniv for defamation.
I hope Hamm wins.
When reached for comment, Bexte said, “Yaniv has been ordered to cease all contact with me, both directly and indirectly. I can’t wait for the day when Yaniv is put away for the long haul. He is dangerous and unpredictable.”
I’m not a big fan of imprisonment but Yaniv needs to be prevented from doing more people harm.
And if he’s convicted, will he go to a women’s prison where, once inside he will “[do] more people harm?” It’ll be a whole new pool of victims trapped in there with him.
It’ll be interesting if he does get sentenced to prison (which is unlikely, Canada being Canada and all) whether trans activists will rally around him in his inevitable battle to be incarcerated with women. That would put activists in the awkard position of defending the position that a racist pedophilic predator who self-identifies as a woman seemingly solely for the purposes of exploitation, extortion and predation still “counts” as a “real” transwoman, and is still entitled to full womanhood in law. That’s not a good look and it won’t do them any favours in the long run. And yet, I can’t imagine the activists not defending Yaniv, because they’ve staked so much on the notion of self-ID. The ink has barely dried on Bill C-16 and it’s already proven to be a catastrophe.
I wonder if the scooter will make another appearance?
