A left-wing Colorado District Attorney (DA) plans to drop charges against a transgender sex offender accused of trying to abduct a child from an elementary school.
The details: Solomon Galligan, 33, a registered sex offender, was caught on surveillance video entering the playground at Black Forest Hills Elementary in Aurora in April 2024.
- The creep tried to snatch a young child but tripped and took off running. He was later found by police.
Incompetent: After a court-ordered evaluation, Galligan was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and found mentally incompetent to stand trial.
- Galligan will instead be sent to a mental health treatment facility.
Back up: Galligan was previously placed on the sex offender registry after being convicted of non-consensual sexual contact. He’s been in and out of jail for 12 years.
Did I mention he’s trans too? Galligan began hormone treatments in 2011 and publicly identified as transgender.
Backlash: DA Amy Padden, a Democrat, has faced fierce backlash for her decision to let Galligan skirt jail time.
- Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky, a Republican, is leading a recall effort, saying her “progressive attitude will not be tolerated.”
The last word goes to Solomon’s own niece, who told reporters: “This has been like the fourth time… How the hell did he get released?”
