‘Trantifa’ porn star raises money for Los Angeles Antifa member accused of nearly killing a Latino man with a knife

Eric Louis "Nina" Cohen, a 6 foot and 3 inches tall transsexual Antifa member from Long Beach, Calif. is accused of stabbing a man in the upper chest on Aug. 14 during an Antifa riot outside Los Angeles City Hall. The Hispanic victim was hospitalized for a lacerated heart and a punctured lung. Cohen was allegedly in black bloc and fled after the stabbing.

The 30-year-old was filmed on camera having blonde hair but at the time of her arrest last week, she had dyed her hair to dark purple. She was originally charged with attempted murder by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and held on a $1 million bail but this was later downgraded to assault with a deadly weapon. Her bail is currently set at only $60,000.

Trans porn star Chloe Corrupt is among many in the Antifa community who posted in support of Cohen, tweeting: "Nina put her body on the line protecting our community from violent fascists. It's time that we repay that debt. Please give what you can. Let's get her free."

She added: "Anyone who shows me proof that they've given $20 or more gets a full length video for free from me."

Long Beach Antifa and the Long Beach Anarchist Collective are other groups helping to fundraise for Cohen on Cash App. Cash App is a preferred method of fundraising for Antifa due to its lax policy enforcements against raising funds for violent criminal suspects.

"My sister Nina Ashley Cohen is being held in custody at the men's central jail in LA county. This is inhuman," Cohen's 33-year-old sister Rebecca Marie Cohen said. "@LANow printed a story using her dead name. Giving the impression @lasd (Los Angeles Sheriffs Department) had a male person in custody. That is not the case. I know nobody reads my f—ng tweets, but if you happen to please help get #ninawiththegirls."

Cohen's mother, Katharine Drechsler, also told the Los Angeles Times she was "extremely concerned" that law enforcement officials misgendered Cohen. Neither family member expressed concern for the victim Cohen allegedly stabbed.

Eric "Nina" Cohen is currently jailed at the men's Inmate Reception Center in line with her legal and biological sex. Her next court date is Sept. 17.

"Chloe Corrupt" and Cash App were reached for comment.

Update: Cohen was released on bond on Monday, for the amount of $60,000, a reduction from the original $1 million. Fundraising for Cohen is being done by Antifa via CashApp with the intention of raising money in addition to that needed for bail.
