(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) Among the first images in a Flickr search for Oxane “Gypsy” Taub is one that appears to show two naked, underage children at the front lines of a nudist protest—including a prepubescent boy, believed to be her son, toting a sign that says “My Body My Choice.”
Taub, a radical so extreme that even the far-left SF Weekly labeled her a “notorious nudist” in a 2015 profile, emerged at the center of the assault scandal involving Paul Pelosi and his estranged “friend,” David DePape.
In an interview with the city’s ABC7 News, she spoke out about her own affiliation with DePape, who she said is her former lover and the father of her two sons, Daniel and Nebo.
Taub, who acknowledged that she is a supporter of Nancy Pelosi, said DePape—with whom she had been in a long-term domestic relationship until around 2015—disappeared for about a year and then returned home “mentally ill.”
“He came back in very bad shape,” she told ABC7. “He thought he was Jesus. He was constantly paranoid, thinking people were after him. And it took a good year or two to get back to, you know, being halfway normal.”
The article also noted that Taub, who immigrated from Moscow in 1988 and turned to the sex-trade to make ends meet, “last year was found guilty on 20 counts, including the attempted abduction of a 14-year-old boy near his Berkeley high school.”
According to Taub’s own blog, the charges include stalking and molestation.
“I am not going to apologize for the crimes that I did not commit: I never molested John Doe. I never touched him inappropriately. I never sent him any sexually explicit content. I have never been alone with him,” she wrote in a November 2021 post.
“I never stalked John Doe. I never physically followed him and never made any threats. I only saw John Doe 5 or 6 times in my entire life. It was before the restraining order was issued. Three of those times he came to my house to see my son Daniel,” she said.
“John Doe could have easily blocked my emails. No one made him read them. No one forced him to look for my blogs either. My posts on my own blogs are protected by the 1st amendment,” she continued. “I never tried to kidnap John Doe either. My son and I were trying to help him get away from an abusive situation and get him into foster care.”
Taub is currently serving time at the California Institution For Women, a state prison in Corona, California.
Even for infamously wacky and lawless San Francisco, Taub’s “activism” apparently is too extreme. She previously protested state lawmaker Scott Wiener—considered to be one of the most radical elected politicians in the country—over his efforts to implement a public-nudity ban.
And she is now linked by only two degrees of separation to the person third in line for the presidency and the most powerful woman in Congress.
Nancy Pelosi had been one of the few powerful leaders on the Democrat side to avoid suspicions of sexual depravity and child sex-abuse like the allegations that have engulfed President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton.
However, growing speculation about her husband’s apparent relationship with DePape fueled questions as to what other activities the so-called Castro Nudists cult—to which DePape belonged—might have been involved in.
The name derives from San Francisco’s well-known gay district and not from the communist Cuban dictator.
“I’ve been aware of him for a long time because he was associated with the public nudity folks in the Castro,” Wiener told KRON4 of DePape. “It’s a long history with him.”
According to the Santa Monica Observer, in a post that Elon Musk linked to over the weekend, San Francisco law-enforcement officials initially admitted there was a connection with the nudist cult in a hot-mic moment, then told a reporter not to use the information.
DePape was reportedly estranged from his children, according to WIVB.
But his step-daughter, Inti Gonzalez, who is Taub’s daughter from a previous relationship, accused him of abusing the two sons in a Facebook post and a post on her now-deleted blog, the New York Post reported.
“This attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband came as a shock to me, though not much considering the kind of extreme abuse he had inflicted on me and my brothers,” she wrote. “…[T]he monster in him was always too strong for him to be safe to be around.”
Ironically, it was Taub who kicked out DePape for his “toxic” behavior, only to become involved with her son’s 14-year-old friend.
Although leftists have tried to imply that DePape embraced Q’Anon conspiracy theories, his own past history with alleged crimes closely related to pedophilia cast doubt on his sudden decision to repudiate it.
It remains only to be seen whether the mainstream media will begin to connect the dots in the week leading up to the 2022 midterm election, or if they will bury a scandal that could potentially make Hunter Biden’s laptop pale in comparison.
