In 2017, a Jackson, Michigan home burned to the ground resulting in the deaths of five pets. Nikki Joly, a 54-year-old transgender person and gay rights activist, resided in the house at the time but did not own it. The primary suspect of the arson case is none other than Nikki Joly himself. Authorities are still trying to determine the suspect”s M.O., but believe Joly may have wanted to garner attention and sympathy from fellow residents of Jackson, a mostly conservative town, as well as amplify the victimhood “spotlight” on people of a certain sexual orientation.

Travis Trombley, another gay resident of Jackson, called the revelation “embarrassing.” “How do you do it to the community you have put so much effort into helping?” Daniel Barnett, Joly”s attorney, claims the defendant “already had lots of attention for his gay rights activism” and wasn”t looking for more. “It doesn”t make sense. He was Citizen of the Year. There was plenty of media coverage already before the fire,” explained Barnett in a media interview. Joly”s hearing is scheduled to occur next month in a Jackson County Circuit Court.
