Another Democratic official's transvestic progeny arrested, this time over alleged anti-Israel hate crime

The 28-year-old daughter of a Democratic attorney in the Connecticut Attorney General's Office was arrested last week for allegedly making a show out of vandalizing an Israeli flag on private property in Sandy Hook.

Sarah Stofko, the transvestite daughter of Deputy Associate Attorney General Carolyn Signorelli, was charged with third-degree criminal mischief and third-degree intimidation based on bigotry or bias.

The Newtown Police Department indicated that officers responded to a home near the intersection of Church Hill Road and Walnut Tree Hill Road on Dec. 7, the first night of Hanukkah, following a report of vandalism of an Israeli flag. Officers quickly located the flag that had been torn down, then acquired a description and registration for the suspect's vehicle.

Police ultimately identified and contacted Stofko — a self-described web developer who refers to herself as Isaac — prompting her to surrender.

Following Stofko's arrest, Newton Police Lt. Scott Smith said, "Our police department has no tolerance for any crimes that have the potential to create fear and anxiety amongst members of our community."

Chief David Kullgren reiterated, "We unequivocally reject any criminal activities that may instill fear or distress among our residents."

The town's first selectman, Republican A. Jeffrey Capeci, denounced the vandalism, stating, "By flying a flag or having a sign on one's private property we exercise free speech protected by the first amendment. Be it an American, Ukrainian or an Israeli flag, a lawn sign that is political or the school of choice for a child’s higher education – the list is long."

"As Americans, we have the right to express our views and preferences, but we do not have the right to silence or intimidate others," added Capeci.

The Republican administrator highlighted the contributions of Jewish members of Newtown and noted, "It is how we respond to these instances that define us as a community, not the actions of any one individual."

The News-Times noted that Stofko's alleged destruction of property comes amidst a reported rise in anti-Semitic incidents across Connecticut. Stacey Sobel, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, indicated there had been over 1,400 anti-Semitic incidents reported since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel.

Within hours of Stofko's alleged hate crime, a masked radical climbed the Hanukkah menorah in New Haven Green to hang a Palestinian flag, prompting condemnation from Gov. Ned Lamont (D) and other officials, reported WTNH-TV.

Stofko, whose antipathy appears to be widely shared by many of her mother's fellow party members, is due in Danbury Superior Court on Dec. 21.

Stofko is not the only transvestite child of a prominent Democrat to act upon the views prevalent among the party's progressive members in recent months.

Blaze News previously reported that Jared Dowell, the adult son of House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), was arrested and charged in January with assault and battery on a Boston police officer inflicting serious bodily injury, vandalizing a historic monument, damaging property by tagging, and resisting arrest.

Dowell, who claims to be non-binary, defaced a historic monument in the Boston Common with anti-police slogans commonly used by leftists. He got off easy, thanks to a deal with prosecutors, requiring that he essentially affirm his guilt with an apology letter to the officer he assaulted, then complete 30 hours of community service.
