Northern California’s ‘racist Karen‘ made a bizarre appearance Tuesday — flashing a huge grin for cameras after allegedly hounding a father and daughter in a viral confrontation.
Lindsay Hansen, 47, of San Jose, smiled broadly as she arrived in court, where reporters were waiting to cover the case, NBC Bay Area reported.
The mother became the center of attention after video surfaced showing her allegedly accusing a father of sex trafficking his own daughter because their skin colors did not match.
She “falsely (accused) the father of sex trafficking his child due to differences in the color of their skin” on Sept. 6, Britlyn McCormick, a deputy district attorney with the Santa Clara County DA’s office, said, according to the Press Democrat.
In the video, Hansen can be heard yelling at the father from the passenger-side window of her car as she recorded him and the child.
“I’m making sure that you’re not sex trafficking this poor little girl who’s very unhappy to be with you,” Hansen told the father. “And doesn’t look like your child.”
“That’s a white little girl and you are a man of color. So, I believe you are either buying or selling or trafficking this child.”
Authorities told the Press Democrat that Hansen had allegedly confronted the same father multiple times.
One time she allegedly asked the child “do you need help?” Another time, she was accused of questioning the father “are you legally in this country?”
She is facing a variety of charges including felony hate crime and stalking in the case.
Hansen is also accused of other deranged incidents in the community, including allegedly entering a girls’ locker room at a San Jose Unified school and accusing PE teachers of inappropriate behavior.
San Jose Unified sent out an alert saying it was aware of a woman harassing people in the community.
“We have received reports of an individual harassing members of our community, including recording videos and taking photographs and posting content on social media,” the message read.
“San Jose Unified has filed a police report and is working closely with the San Jose Police Department.”
The police department said “it was reported that social media photos were located showing an adult female subject unassociated to the school, accessing the high school locker room… the investigation is active.”
Hansen’s many social media posts include a suggestion that Pope Leo XIV is Satan, numerous posts about the Epstein files, various antisemitic posts, and a post saying the birth of her child in 2020 kicked off the 7-year tribulation, or the end times.
On Friday, Hansen appeared in court for an unrelated case in which she’s accused of threatening to kill her former employer and her child back in March.
She is facing several charges in that case, including threatening a crime resulting in death or great bodily injury. She was out on bail at the time the video involving the father that went viral.
Hansen is expected to be back in court on Thursday after her appearance in the stalking case was continued.
