Child Molester Hannah Tubbs Sentenced To Two Years In Juvenile Facility

As reported by Fox News, Tubbs was not linked to the sexual assault case until 2019, when her DNA was entered into a database following an arrest on suspicion of battery in the state of Idaho.

Tubbs has previously been arrested for battery, drug possession and probation violations, and has a pending misdemeanor case in Washington.

Tubbs -- who allegedly has multiple mental illnesses -- was also accused of sexually assaulting a minor in Kern County, California, but that case was never prosecuted.

Judge Mario Barrera this week ordered Tubbs -- who pleaded guilty to sexual assault -- to serve two years in a juvenile facility.

But the Los Angeles County judge made it clear that he had no other choice due to Democratic District Attorney George Gascon's refusal to prosecute Tubbs as an adult.

"I want to be clear. The filing of a transfer motion is entirely within the discretion of the district attorney," Barrera said.

Kathryn Barger, chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, issued the following statement, per ABC 7.

Deputy District Attorney Shea Sanna agreed, saying that Judge Barrera's hands "were tied" because he "did not have the authority to issue an order housing Tubbs in county jail or with the sheriff's department."

Critics slammed DA Gascon for refusing to prosecute Tubbs as an adult.

"Tubbs is 26 years old. Unlike George Gascon’s false narrative, she is not a 'kid'," Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami said.

"There was evidence presented at the juvenile proceedings which showed that Tubbs sexually assaulted two young girls in different incidents in the past. The child victims will suffer lifelong trauma. Tubbs also has prior violent convictions and conduct as an adult," Hatami noted.
