Another Trans Cult? 7-Year-Old Victim Was Groomed to Be Trans Before He Was Found Tortured to Death
William Evans-Ellis was brought up in a trans group where he played a key role as a shared child for all the 'moms.' A Ngo Comment investigation found what they wanted his future to be.

Is there another trans cult?
A woman and two men who identify as trans have been charged in Cincinnati, Ohio in the brutal torture and murder of a young special-needs boy. A Ngo Comment investigation found that the group, which included at least three men who identify as trans, had groomed the child into trans ideology from a very young age and appeared to have plans to transition him before police found him unresponsive in a closet, bound with duct tape and showing signs of torture.
William Michael Evans-Ellis, 7, was recovered from an apartment in Oakley, Cincinnati on Aug. 6. He suffered injuries consistent with being choked and held underwater, beaten and burned. A detective testified in court that it was one of the most disturbing child abuse cases he had ever investigated.
The child was found with “a number of injuries that would indicate physical beatings, blunt force injuries,” he said.
Kaitlin Elizabeth Evans, 38, who is charged, is the child’s biological mother. The two other suspects are biological men who identify as women: Kirby Rankin, 33, and “Nessa” Keaney (prior name: Adamhnán Judaydon Caoilte Lugh Keaney), 23. The three lived together as a polycule and “co-parented” the child to death.
They are charged with murder and child endangerment.
Liberal and legacy media have repeatedly reported that “three women” were charged. This follows a pattern of media outlets obscuring or omitting the trans identities of accused killers and convicted killers in an effort to protect transgenderism. The same pattern occurred in the news media coverage of the Zizian trans death cult.
The boy’s biological father, “Tara Jane” Evans-Ellis, 38, who was not charged, also identifies as trans. He married Evans in 2011. His real name is Thomas John (T.J.) Ellis, but he legally changed it to “Tara” in December 2023.
An analysis of Ellis’ social media record reveals a disturbing history of posts showing he was part of that group and that they were influencing the child to become trans.
Active on Mastodon, a Twitter-like social media platform popular with leftists, Ellis posted Antifa propaganda, radical queer activist material, said he was a DSA member and dabbled with the trans furry subculture—similar to Charlie Kirk assassin suspect’s trans lover, Lance Twiggs.
But he also posted at length about his personal life in the polyamorous trans group where they trained his son to embrace their lifestyle and transgender identities.
“The other night we did a family+polycule outing and my kiddo met my girlfriend, ‘K,’ [Kirby Rankin] for the first time,” Ellis wrote in December 2023, when William was about four years old. A couple months later, he wrote: “kiddo has started calling for ‘mommies!’ when he needs a parent and any parent will do, and it absolutely melts my heart every time.”
In another post, he described how his partners both had a “fondness for weapons.”

Ellis wrote that the polycule engaged in group sex and described the group as a “team.”
Disturbingly, Ellis had posts suggesting the group was grooming the child into becoming trans. First, they encouraged him to experiment with different names before suggesting that transition would be inevitable.
