Transgender Inmate Transferred from Women's Prison Following Rape Charges

Tremaine Carroll, a biological male identifying as female, faces multiple rape charges and has been moved to a men's facility.

  • Carroll, 51, is indicted for two counts of rape and one count of dissuading a witness from testifying.
  • The alleged attack occurred in the shower of the California Women’s Facility, involving an inmate identified as Jane Doe.
  • Carroll's transfer reignites debate over California's SB 132, which allows inmates to be housed based on gender identity.
  • Carroll has a long criminal history, including kidnapping, robbery, and sexual assault charges dating back to the 1980s.
  • Women's rights activists argue that SB 132 endangers female inmates by allowing biological males in women's prisons.
