A married Alabama mayor and pastor who killed himself after being found to have a secret life as a “transgender curvy girl” is accused of using pictures of local minors to encourage children to transition.
On one of his secret social media pages, FL “Bubba” Copeland allegedly shared a photo of a local boy and his younger sister to make it appear as if he had transitioned, with the caption, “Take pictures, get implants, be w –again.”
The post included the boy’s real name, according to 1819 News, the website that first exposed the married father of three’s secret online life.
A minor was also featured in the post showing Copeland’s “alter ego” — Brittini Blaire Summerlin — undressing, the site reported.
The local pastor also writes erotic fiction using the names of real women in the small town of Smiths Station — including a local hairdresser who said she was shocked to find her first and last names used in graphic stories online.
“It basically describes the way I look – and I feel intensified, as a porn star,” the unidentified woman told WTVM.
“And it goes into very graphic detail. I didn’t get past the first page because I honestly couldn’t stand it.”

Ansley Summerlin also said that after Copeland’s death on Friday, friends started sending her “photos that were posted of me on some porn sites.”
“He continues to use my first and middle name on the website, and I believe there are about nine stories now that have five or six pictures of my face and name, all over the internet,” he said.
Copeland posted at least four pieces of transgender erotic fiction — and one story about stealing local women’s identities — online, the Daily Mail reported.
In one of these short stories, Copeland — who also owns a local grocery store — wrote about watching women on in-store security cameras and saving the video for his “personal collection,” according to the Mail.
In another long story published under the pseudonym Brittini Blair, the narrator becomes obsessed with the real business owner, whom he eventually kills to assume his identity.

After 1819 News published an article about the post, the mayor contacted a friend at the local police department, Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said.
“It was a friend calling a friend,” he explained. “Let’s say he cares about the article. I think ‘disappointed’ is a good way to put it.”
The authorities then conducted a welfare check on the mayor.
Two deputies first went to Copeland to look for him, and then to a local market he frequented, before finally spotting the mayor driving on a county road, officials said.
Deputies turned on their emergency lights and tried to get Copeland to stop.
When he finally did, Copeland got out of the vehicle and shot himself.
“We didn’t know Copeland was going to die at the scene,” Jones said.

“There was an obvious concern for his welfare, and deputies attempted to get him to stop, contact him, assess the situation, and then take action based on that assessment.”
He added that he doesn’t know what deputies could have done differently, even though authorities are investigating his death.
Copeland, who also serves as pastor at First Baptist Church in nearby Phenix City, previously told friends that he had had “a tough few days.”
But 1819 News editor Jeff Poor defended the website’s coverage of Copeland.

“There’s a lot more here,” he told Breitbart. “This is clearly a troubled man, and unfortunately he ended his life.
“But it’s not for any reason or any narrative expressed by the mainstream media,” he claimed.
“He doesn’t just write erotic fiction – he writes erotic slasher fiction where he fantasizes about killing a woman in the local community, and uses his real name.”
