I'm finding myself compelled to say that, in general, I would support a hard line opposition to charging minors as adults.

I'm saying in general because this doesn't make sense to me. Moreover, I'm willing to bet that if the confessed rapist of a ten year-old girl weren't a trans-woman, Mr. Gascon would be prosecuting the twenty-six year old, biological man as an adult.

Yes, the assault happened when Tubbs was two weeks short of his eighteenth birthday (yes, that was an intentional misgendering -- shoot me).

That technicality isn't a reason to restrict a confessed child abuser's punishment to house arrest or time in a juvenile detention facility. Incidentally, since he's now twenty-six, he can't go to juvenile detention; so, the most that he can expect for sexually assaulting a ten year-old girl is house arrest and probation.

This is what wokeness looks like when taken to the logical conclusion.
