Casper, Wyoming resident Michelle Martinez, who was known as Miguel Martinez before identifying as female, was found guilty Thursday, October 19, 2017 of first-degree and second-degree sexual abuse of a minor.
The girl told police details of the assault, saying Martinez, who is a family friend, invited her into the bathroom before the assault.
Martinez denied molesting the child to arresting officers and pleaded not guilty to the charges in May 2017 at an arraignment in Natrona County District Court.
Coincidentally, the ACLU of Montana filed a lawsuit Tuesday, October 17, 2017 challenging the constitutionality of a proposed ballot initiative that would require transgender residents to use public bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their sex at birth.
