UK: Man R*pes a Woman, Says He Now Identifies As a Woman, Gets Tried As a Woman and Found Guilty

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckddgw0p8xvo

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. :marsey41:

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.
