Transgender Woman Found Guilty Of Raping Two Women Before Transition
Transgender woman Isla Bryson, 31, formerly known as Adam Graham, was found guilty of violent sex attacks on victims she met online in 2016 and 2019, aso Naija reports.
According to MailOnline on Tuesday, Bryson, who began transitioning from a man to a woman in 2020 after being charged with rape, denied the allegations on Tuesday saying she “would never hurt another human being and that the victims made the first move.
The first victim recalled repeatedly saying “No” as her ‘muscular’ attacker raped her when the then man got into bed beside her in 2016 and the second woman was raped at a flat when they were planning to watch a film in 2019.
Bryson first appeared in the court in Glasgow July 2019 as Adam Graham but later became known as Isla Bryson by the start of her six-day trial.
Her defence KC Edward Targowski told court, “If you accept that evidence, that she is transitioning, that she is aiming to continue on that path to becoming female gender, that goes a long way to acquitting her of these charges.”
However, the Scottish Conservative shadow community safety minister Russell Findlay said, “This rapist decided that he was no longer a man only after appearing in court on a rape charge.
“We now have the utterly perverse situation where a Scottish court refers to someone who says he identifies as female using ‘her penis’ to rape two vulnerable women.”
