A prominent LGBTQ+ activist in Philadelphia has been charged with
allegedly raping two minors.
Kendall Stephens, 37, was arrested Monday and charged with rape,
involuntary assault, unlawful contact with minors, and indecent assault
against people less than 13 years old, among other offenses, court
documents revealed.
The exact details of the allegations against Stephens were not immediately
available.
Stephens — who is a trans woman — had a preliminary arraignment in
Philadelphia municipal court Monday evening, the court records showed.
She is due back before Judge Vincent W. Furlong on Dec. 29.
Stephens previously made headlines when she was the victim of a vicious
hate crime and group assault inside her South Philadelphia residence on
Aug. 24, 2020, FOX19 reported.
Tymesha Wearing was sentenced in February to 11.5 to 23 months of house
arrest for aggravated assault and conspiracy charges related to her role
in the attack, CBS News noted.

She was also convicted of hate crimes, which Philadelphia lists as summary
offenses, the outlet explained.
Wearing will now be eligible for paroles until after 18 months of home
confinement, 120 community service, and an apology letter to Stephens and
court-monitored anger management is all completed, CBS said.
The 2020 attack made Stephens into a popular neighborhood activist who
pushed local lawmakers to pursue justice for violence committed against
the LGBTQ+ community, the outlet reported.
“I went to class the next day I was beaten because let me tell you
something no one is going to steal my pride, no one is going to steal my
power. We deserve better than we have gotten. We are human beings,”
Stephens told CBS in March this year.
Stephens’ bail has been set at $250,000, according to court records.
