BREAKING: WA trans OnlyFans city council appointee rescinds candidacy after cannibal fetish controversy

A transgender OnlyFans adult content creator who was unanimously appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Lynnwood City Council in Washington state on Monday has withdrawn candidacy. The decision came after an expose revealed that Jessica Ann Roberts, 32, born Neil Vincent Roberts, had a hidden history as a sex worker that included a cannibalism fetish and an "uncontrollable" desire to impregnate women.

The Lynnwood City Council said on Tuesday that it would be holding a meeting on March 13 to discuss rescinding Roberts' appointment after receiving nationwide backlash over its decision to select Roberts for the council. However, the city council released a statement just hours before the meeting was set to occur, announcing that Roberts had withdrawn candidacy.

"This afternoon, the City was informed that Ms. Roberts has removed her name from consideration for the City Council. Tonight's Council Special Business Meeting will still be held as scheduled. We will provide more information on the next steps to fill the vacant Council position soon," the council wrote in a statement to KOMO 4 News.
