A twisted serial sex predator who switched genders on the taxpayer dime while locked up in Canada is pushing to be transferred to a woman’s prison. Sperling, 58, has been in and out prison for sex crimes since 1986, when he was first convicted of sexual assault at the age of 19. After his release, he went on a four-day sex assault spree, grabbing a 12-year-old girl who was rollerblading in a mall parking lot in Montreal by the neck and threatening to rape her, and sexually assaulting two women. Sperling was first put behind bars at the age of 19 for sexual assault. Sperling had “very little meaningful social interaction” with other men behind bars and has been groped and bullied by other inmates, according to the affidavit.
