Judge: Fairborn trans woman not guilty of public indecency

A Fairborn trans woman accused of public indecency for changing in the women's locker room at the Xenia YMCA has been found not guilty.

Greene County Municipal Court Judge David McNamee handed down his ruling Monday on the three misdemeanor charges.

Defense attorney Lauren Dever believes charges were filed out of unwarranted fears.

“No young children saw anything, there was no exposure of genitalia, no predatory behavior," Dever said. "This is a person trying to live their life.”

The case was based upon accusations by three female members of the Xenia YMCA. They claim they witnessed the defendant exposing male genitals while changing in the women’s locker room at the Xenia YMCA. The women alleged several incidents occurred last year.
