Marcy Rheintgen (born 2004/2005), an American college student, was arrested and detained overnight on March 19, 2025, for washing her hands in a women's bathroom in the Florida State Capitol. She was arrested under Florida's anti-trans bathroom law, Facility Requirements Based on Sex Act, because she used a women's bathroom as a transgender woman. She is believed to be the first person arrested under this law. In June 2025, the case was dismissed when prosecutors failed to meet the deadline for filing charging documents.
