A transgender woman has been found guilty of r*pe following a night out.
Lexi Secker, 35, of Lowbourne, near Melksham, was living as a man when she attacked a woman in Blunsdon, Wiltshire, on 23 April 2023.
Swindon Crown Court was told Secker would be tried as a woman and she was found guilty of one count of r*pe on Friday, following a four day trial.
She was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced on 27 September.
Det Con Corrina Wiltshire, from Wiltshire Police, said: "I would firstly like to thank our victim in this case who has been inspirational in the way they have handled things."
She said the case had taken a long time to come before a judge and commended the victim for their commitment to getting justice, "despite the hurdles".
"They have such incredible strength and I hope it shows others that they can do this too," she added.
The thing that never happens happened again... for the millionth time.
Also, apparently, r*pe is something that only men can be convicted of under English law. So, if this man is being tried "as a woman", then he's not being tried for r*pe.
The BBC is a disgrace.

So, basically no one did shit and she had to do everything herself. What happened to bongs? They used to rule the world, and now they're getting cucked by peepees.

It's like this everywhere. If you get r*ped and want to see the perp held to account, you have to subject yourself to an invasive and uncomfortable r*pe test at a hospital, and then go to court where you have to tell the entire story to a group of strangers while your male feminist stares at you and his lawyer asks you questions and aggressively tries to paint you as a liar.
All this for something that doesnt even guarantee a conviction since in many cases the evidence is he said/she said

It's also fricked up how they just ignore most r*pe kits. Some cities have backlogs going back to the 1980s with thousands of kits never tested. I remember reading about one city that got federal cash to clear their backlog, and they found nearly 1000 male feminists whose DNA was already in the federal database. Crime labs are so underfunded thanks to these shitty politicians and poor budgeting.
