It was recently revealed yet another transgender-identifying male predator has been terrorizing vulnerable female inmates in women’s prison in Maine.
According to a report from the Sun Journal, rrison records show that Andrew Balcer is over six feet tall and weighs 310 pounds. The journal article refers to Balcer as “she” but he is not female.
In 2016, Balcer who was then 17-year-old, stabbed his mother Alice nine times in the back with a hunting knife and then used the same weapon to kill his father Antonio and the family dog.
It was around that time began that he identifying as a woman, following what he claimed was a lifelong gender identity crisis.
He was sentenced to 40 years in prison in December 2018 and was later transferred to a female cell after Maine Democrats allowed prison placement based on ‘gender identity’.
LifeSiteNews reports: Balcer then called the police and, with laughter, told them what he’d done. He pled guilty in September 2018 but claimed that he had murdered his parents because they would not support his “gender identity change,” a claim his brother disputes, saying that their parents would have supported him. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
“It was not clear when Balcer was moved from the Maine State Prison at Warren to the women’s section at Windham,” the Sun Journal reported. “The inmates there said Balcer has been with them for at least a year.” What is clear is that the female inmates are now locked behind bars with a predator, and that he is taking full advantage of his new circumstances. He now identifies as a “woman” named Andrea.
Since arriving at the prison, female inmates have reported that Balcer has “cornered” women; that he has groped them, “forcibly kissed” them, and that they have faced offers from Balcer “to impregnate them.” At least six, but “perhaps as many as 11,” women have complained about Balcer since his arrival, but aside from Balcer being occasionally segregated during investigations under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, nothing has been done.
“I’ve complained at least four times,” said his cellmate, Jennifer Albert. “I’ve gone in with the other four girls all in one stand and we brought it up with the men at the desk, who then forwarded it to the sergeant. But nothing really came of it.”
“[Balcer] pulled my body right up against hers [sic], like as tight as she possibly could,” Albert said. “She slid me down so that I could feel […] that it was a man.” She cited other examples of similar behavior, as well.
Another woman, 45-year-old Katie Mountain, described the abuse in detail. “She [sic] is a terrorizer, honestly,” Mountain said, using female pronouns to describe her male assailant. “She’s put me through hell. She’s shoved me against the bathroom wall and tried to force me to kiss her. I would wake up to her just staring at me and then making comments like: If you don’t wake up, it’s because I smothered you with a pillow.”
There is something sadistic about forcing female inmates to refer to their male assailant as a female, when they are quite clearly aware that he is not.
