A magistrate judge in South Carolina on Friday denied bond for a 19-year-old transgender woman accused of threatening to kill Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who has been a staunch advocate against giving transgender women access to spaces reserved for biological females.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division on Thursday arrested and charged Samuel Theodore Cain, 19, of Greenville, South Carolina, with threatening the life of a public official. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
