A registered child sex offender who was recently charged in connection with a violent sexual assault on an Ontario toddler has reportedly requested a transfer to a women’s prison, saying he is transgender.

Daniel Senecal, 25, was arrested by Niagara Regional Police earlier this month in connection with an attack on a three-year-old girl in her Welland, Ont., home.
