A self-identified transgender woman in Ontario, Canada, was arrested Tuesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a women’s shelter.
Desiree Anderson, 32, also known as Cody D’Entremont, turned herself in hours after authorities issued a press release and mugshot seeking information on the suspect, according to the Windsor Star.
Police began investigating Anderson on April 4 following a report from a woman who claimed the suspect had climbed into bed with her and sexually assaulted her while she was staying a women’s shelter in Windsor.
Authorities disseminated Anderson’s photo on social media at approximately 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, and Anderson was in custody shortly after 5 p.m., the outlet reported.
Vancouver Rape Relief, which is Canada’s oldest rape shelter, was stripped of its city funding in 2019 for refusing to accept biological males who identify as transgender women, according to the National Post.
