Two North Carolina women have been charged with sexual battery and second-degree kidnapping of a transgender woman in the bathroom of a North Carolina bar, Raleigh police said.
The incident took place on the night of Dec. 9 at Milk Bar in downtown Raleigh, according to an offense report and 911 call made the next day. The caller, whose name was not released, reported that two women taunted, groped and exposed themselves to an unnamed victim in the bathroom.
It was not clear whether the call was made by the victim or someone who witnessed the alleged assault. The Associated Press reported the victim was a 29-year-old transgender woman.
Amber Harrell, 38, and Jessica Fowler, 31, were arrested and charged with sexual battery and second-degree kidnapping, according to the offense report. The caller said the two continued to assault the victim at the bar — despite the bartender’s repeated orders to stop. One of the women apparently asked the victim if she had a penis.

isn't it immensely ironic that the bathroom bills meant to protect the general public should instead be re-written to protect us?!
