Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv charged with assault: Report

Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv was reportedly arrested after attacking Canadian journalist Keenan Bexte outside of court.

“Yaniv has been ordered to cease all contact with me, both directly and indirectly,” Bexte told the Post Millennial on Wednesday. “I can’t wait for the day when Yaniv is put away for the long haul. (Yaniv) is dangerous and unpredictable.”

Yaniv could face five years in prison for the charges. Earlier this month, Bexte posted a video of Yaniv punching him outside of a courthouse. “Get away from me,” Yaniv yelled while hitting Bexte, who was also filming the altercation.


The transgender activist has been forced to appear in court over weapons charges after allegedly possessing illegal weapons.

Yaniv became famous after suing several beauty salons for not wax Yaniv’s male genitalia. The activist lost the first round of complaints but filed a second round earlier this month.
