I hope that guy in the Spa who tried to tell the women complaining that a sex offender had every right to be in the changing room flashing young girls feels good about himself. Also referring to this guy in the article as "she" is offensive to women and should also be offensive to genuine trans women. It's making a mockery of the whole thing not to mention messing with the statistics of sex offenders by sex
Trans woman who sparked a riot after 'exposing her erect penis to a young girl in women's section of LA spa' is named as a registered sex offender and CHARGED with indecent exposure
Four women and an underage girl have come forward to allege that Darren Agee Merager, 52, was partially erect in the women's section of Wi Spa
Merager, who resides in Riverside, California, denied the allegations and said that she is actually the victim of transphobic harassment
Merager has a long criminal history that includes nearly a dozen felony convictions for crimes ranging from sex offenses to burglary and escape
She is also facing six felony counts of indecent exposure over a separate locker room incident in December 2018, and pled not guilty on all counts
A tier-one registered sex offender, Merager already has two prior convictions of indecent exposure stemming from incidents in 2002 and 2003 in California
The LAPD said that the investigation regarding the Wi Spa incident is still currently 'ongoing,' and warrant is out for Merager's arrest
Merager says she may file complaints or lawsuits for discrimination that she says she has been made to suffer by law enforcement and women in the Wi Spa
Months after a trans woman allegedly exposed herself in front of several spa-goers at Wi Spa in Los Angeles—including an underage girl—charges have finally been filed, with serial sex offender Darren Agee Merager, 52, being identified as the sole suspect in the highly publicized, incident.
What's more, in addition to being a suspect in the case, Merager is facing MULTIPLE felony charges of indecent exposure in regards to a separate incident in Los Angeles.
In addition to charges stemming from the Wi Spa altercation, she is also facing six felony counts of indecent exposure over a separate locker room incident in December 2018.
In that particular incident, Merager is accused of indecent exposure to women and children in a changing area at a swimming pool in West Hollywood Park—eerily similar to the occurrence at the spa.
'Merager claims to identify as female so he can access women's locker rooms and showers,' reads an internal flyer by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department that was sent to law enforcement departments in Southern California in late 2018, in regards to the indecent exposure at West Hollywood Park.
Despite his checkered background, though, Merager is maintaining his innocence in the Wi Spa debacle, telling The New York Post that she is actually the victim—of transphobic harassment.
Back in June, a group of women complained that Merager, who identifies as female, exposed her penis at the Los Angeles spa.
The incident led to months of protests—some of them violent—with a multitude of media outlets declaring the alleged assault an example of bias against the transgendered; or worse, that it didn't even happen.
However, on Monday, charges of indecent exposure were filed against Merager, following an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Sources close the case but not authorized to speak publicly told The Post that four women and a young girl came forward to allege that Merager was partially erect in the women's section of Wi Spa.
On June 23, a group of women attending the spa confronted staff over accusations that a person exposed their penis in the women's section.
Video of the interaction was posted the following day on Instagram by a woman using the name 'Cubana Angel.'
