Lauren Jackson, a transgender woman, told police a man beat her for using the women's restroom in an Oregon state park. Her attacker was found guilty of a hate crime this week.
Fred Constanza was convicted in an Oregon court for first-degree bias crime, second-degree assault and harassment for the August attack on Lauren Jackson, a transgender woman. Jackson was visiting Agate State Beach Park near Newport, Oregon, on the day of the attack. She stopped to use the women's restroom -- and that's when Costanza walked over 100 yards across the park to confront her, multiple witnesses told Newport police.
According to the FBI's most recent hate crime data, around 6% of the victims in the 120 hate crimes reported in Oregon in 2018 were targeted because of their gender identity. The victim had surgery to repair face fracturesAfter the attack in August, Lauren Jackson told CNN affiliate KATU she spent time in the hospital, recovering from fractures in her jaw and a surgery to repair them. She started transitioning to female over a year ago, she said.
