US — Wenatchee, Washington. 31-year-old Synthia Koopman already self-identified as a woman and had begun procedures to affirm this ‘gender identity’ when he took a job as a nanny at the household of a family with three small children.
Mr Koopman, who was previously named Dennis L Koopman, molested and raped one of the woman’s sons, a 10-year-old boy, as well as a 14-year-old boy who was friends with the 10-year-old.
He then kidnapped the 10-year-old boy, going on the run with the child from Wyoming to Colorado.
The mother of the victims told law enforcement that she had had no idea that Mr Koopman was a man at the time she hired him to be her children’s nanny.
In 1991, Mr Koopman pleaded down from a kidnapping charge to a charge of unlawful imprisonment. He was additionally convicted of three counts of first-degree rape against the 10-year-old child, and of third-degree child molestation and third-degree rape counts related to the 14-year-old adolescent.
Mr Koopman requested to serve his 23-year sentence in a women’s prison, and authorities were having trouble deciding whether to place the child rapist in a men’s facility or grant his wishes and enclose him with women.

Cross-Dressing Nanny Sentenced to 23 Years for Rape, Molestation
WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) _ A cross-dressing nanny, a man who had begun the process of a sex-change, was sentenced to 23 years in prison Wednesday for raping and molesting two boys, including one he took to Colorado.
MRSC of Washington
STATE v. KOOPMAN
Nature of Action: Prosecution for three counts of first degree rape of a child and one count each of third degree child molestation, third degree rape of a child, and unlawful imprisonment.












In 1993 he filed an appeal. The court notes record him as female.
This is where statistics that measure who molests children may already be screwed up. The courts consider this man a woman. His crimes of sexual abuse are recorded as a woman did it. But people think agreeing with a non-provable identity is legit. This was 1993 long before any laws to protect a transgender and the courts accepted this person as female…
I’m beginning to wonder if they actually have a higher rate of sexual assault than other men.
I’ve read some men saying they dress as women because it makes it easier to get close to their targets. So maybe it’s the other way around: predators trans for easier access.
That makes a lot of sense. Makes it extra creepy to see the trans guys who are reading to kids in libraries these days.
I would not be surprised – look at how many serial killers cross dress
Yeah, but as they count as women, its not considered male crime anymore :/
They’ve committed to act out their fetish 24/7 and make it their identity. I’d say it’s highly probable they might not be like other men.
And no one cares ! It’s nuts! The whole
Of society is completely
Gripped up in the narcissistic ruse
Jfc. If all this wasn’t bad enough… I was just looking for more info about Koopman (trying to find a photo), and ran across these articles/obits that say 54 year old Dennis L. Koopman murdered his wife & then committed suicide in 2014 (imo too much of a coincidence with name & age to not be the same guy – the AP article linked above, from 1991, says “Synthia” was 31 at the time of his conviction, so the dates work): https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/update-police-id-those-killed-in-cedar-rapids-shooting/article_be53d0d2-9bba-11e3-9b7b-0019bb2963f4.html + http://gunmemorial.org/2014/02/22/luella-womochil-koopman + http://gunmemorial.org/2014/02/22/dennis-l-koopman
They are not the same person.
His conviction ought to mean no more womanface. Sex offenders who use disguise in order to gain easier access to victims, gaining trust on the basis of stated or perceived identity, need to be forevermore banned from disguising themselves. Whether they be men who disguise themselves and/or assume identities as nurses, priests, Disney characters, friends of the family, or ‘women’. In this case, immediate, permanent ‘detransition’, and any legal fictions (eg. legal gender status, licence etc) reversed to represent material reality of him being an adult human male ie. a man. Anyone, government in particular, allowing him to fake being a woman and demanding he be treated as other than an adult human male, is enabling a sex offender.
I so agree
My brother was never married, he didnt kill himself. He was in.prison, in a medical hospital where he needed to be. I.think everday of the boys, now men he abused. It makes me so upset to he did the horrible acts on the innocent boys.
