In women’s prison, transgender prisoner for raping two women

Enraged activists condemned the decision to send a transgender rapist who attacked two women while living as a man to an all-female prison prison. Isla Bryson was Mike Tyson’s clean-shaven Adam Graham with a face tattoo when he sexually assaulted two women he met online in 2016 and 2019.

According to dailymail, the 31-year-old transgender woman will be transferred to Cordon Vale Women’s Prison in Stirling where she will remain for the next few weeks, until her sentence is announced. For now, Bryson will not be held in the prison’s general population wards, but in isolation unit. Afterwards, according to the publication, a “risk assessment” will be carried out to determine where she will serve her sentence. There was no mention that the 31-year-old had a gender identification certificate during the trial.

Bryson had appeared in court for the first time since arrest her as “Adam Graham,” in July 2019. The following year, she announced that she intended to change gender, and jurors were instructed to call her by her female name. Bryson, who claimed to have had gender issues since the age of four, began transitioning from male to female in 2020. rapist she was on hormones but had not had surgery. Until her sentencing yesterday, the accused remained out of jail on bail.

The attacker denied the charges, telling jurors that all sex was consensual – although she insisted she does not like sleeping with women and told the court that women made the “first move”. The judge at the High Court in Glasgow who found the 31-year-old guilty warned her that, due to the gravity of her crimes, she faced a fairly heavy prison sentence. It is worth noting that the trial had been interrupted in the past due to the malaise felt by the accused after the “carter” that had been set up by photographers outside the court.

The first victim said she repeatedly told him no before the “muscular” man attacked and eventually raped her in her bed in 2016. The second woman was raped in an apartment when they planned to see the 2019 film Mean Girls.
