After being assaulted in 2020, Stephens worked alongside District Attorney Larry Krasner to establish an LGBTQ+ Advisory Board to assist victims of hate crimes.
Stephens' attacker, Tymesha Wearing, 36, was sentenced to house arrest and community service in February, 2023, after pleading guilty to a hate crime.
Philly Voice reported at the time of Wearing's sentencing, "Kendall Stephens, a transgender activist, was beaten at her home in Point Breeze by Tymesha Wearing, 36, on Aug. 24, 2020. Wearing had punched Stephens in the mouth outside of her home, then pushed her way into Stephens' home, where she continued to punch her in the head before knocking her to the ground and saying 'You are a man, you deserve this.'"
"Wearing at the time was with two other people who have not been identified or arrested," the report continued. "The District Attorney's Office said those people shouted anti-trans slurs at Stephens during the assault. Another assailant allegedly forced herself into the house and hit Stephens twice in the head with a wooden planter. Stephens suffered injuries including two dead teeth, a concussion, a broken nose, a swollen face and bruised ribs after the attack."
After Wearing was sentenced, District Attorney released a glowing statement about Stephens.
"Nearly three years ago, Kendall Stephens endured a frightening crime that was intended to demean and silence her," District Attorney Krasner said in a press release following the sentencing. "Instead, Ms. Stephens continues to speak out loudly on behalf of other queer victims of violent crime — all while pursuing graduate studies. This criminal case is now closed, but Ms. Stephens will never stop fighting for the respect, support and protections that queer people deserve in order to live safely, freely and joyfully.
Stephens' bail has been set at $500,000, according to a report from Fox 29.
