Lucy Hambley was jailed for forcing a child to have sex with her. (Cornwall Live) A woman groomed a child with cigarettes and alcohol before taking advantage of him to “prove” he is not gay, leaving the boy “destroyed” and suicidal. Lucy Jayne Hambley, 40, initially denied any wrongdoing to police but pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual activity with a 13-year-old boy. A court in Truro, in Cornwall, England, heard that Hambley sought friendship with the young boy – but she turned things sexual when he said he might be gay. “I am going to prove you are not gay,” she replied as she led him to a bedroom, the Truro Crown Court heard.

Amid national and global disgust, a district court issued a temporary injunction on 11 March, halting such investigations statewide. A Texas appeals court upheld the injunction on 22 March, however the Texas Supreme Court struck down the injunction Friday (13 March), meaning families can be investigated once more. The DFPS confirmed in March that it had opened nine “child abuse” investigations into the supportive families of trans youth in the state. Chuck Lindell, a reporter for the Austin American-Statesmzan, broke the news that the court had struck down “a statewide injunction barring child abuse investigations for families that provide gender-affirming care”.
