www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/17384498.worcester-transgender-woman-previously-convicted-of-rape-breaches-order/

This is Christopher Worton, who pleaded guilty to five counts of rape against a child aged between 13 and 15 in 2014.

He is now known as Zoe Lynes, having changed his name in 2017.

His defence lawyer, defending him in a charge of breaching his sexual harm prevention order by visiting a home where he knew children would be present said

'the defendant had experienced isolation as a result of her gender transition.'

So not because he's a paedo rapist then?

Oh, look, it's a rape apologist identifying as a 'Dad'

It is NOT rape for a 18yo to have sex with a consenting 15yo.

Only those 12 yo and under are deemed incapable of consent. At age 13 to 15 an offence would be committed by a 16yo or older boyfriend having consensual sex but it would NOT be rape.

He is a rapist.

Just from reading the article and doing a bit of math, Christopher Worton's prior offenses may have been either a heinous crime or a criminalisation of something that teenagers have done since time immemorial.

The article says the child was between 13 and 15. If (s)he's now 22 then he would have been 18 in 2014.

It's statutory rape for an 18-year old boy to have sex five times (or once) with his 15-year old girlfriend even if they both feel it's consensual, but I would question whether that means this individual is more likely than the average person to assault a 2-year old child four years later.

I agree 100% that a convicted criminal should not be able to expunge their past deeds from the record by changing their name or legal sex/gender. I also think that this particular example might not be the strongest one for making that case.

Christ these men don't need "Better Relationships", they need to fucking stay away from women, for good.

Jesus, I can guarantee that all that course does is give them psychobabble they will use to manipulate the next poor woman into believing their DARVO crap.

Christ it's all horrendous

www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/17384495.mark-smith-given-suspended-jail-sentence-after-admitting-stabbing-wife-in-a-crime-of-passion/

"Smith was told by his wife she wanted another man and hated him, which led to him feeling suicidal as he still loved her, Mr Siva said.

At 7.30am, on October 10, Smith took a knife and went to her caravan and, as soon as she answered the door, he grabbed her by the throat and said “I am going to kill you.” Smith then dragged over a sofa, at which point his wife noticed he had a bread knife in his other hand.

Mr Siva said, after a struggle, Smith stabbed her in the back “more than once,” causing puncture wounds of around 2cms"

Smith was given a 12 month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months. He was also ordered to complete 20 rehabilitation days, and to take a ‘better relationships’ course.

And this is just one town....

It does sound like his presence was unwanted at the supposed close friend's house.

"Nicola Ritchie, prosecuting, said Lynes’ friend questioned why [Lynes] was there, when [Lynes] arrived at [his friend's] door on December 10, 2017.

The prosecutor said the defendant’s friend, [the defendant's friend's] son and [the defendant's friend's] sister were in the home at the time.

The two friends spoke in the doorway for a few seconds before Lynes left, the court heard."

(i have changed/removed some pronouns as it is confusing otherwise.)

Incidentally I agree about the other articles there.

"A SELF-confessed ‘woman-beater’ who subjected his police officer girlfriend to a campaign of manipulative and demeaning bullying has escaped jail.

Judge Anthony Potter ordered him to undertake a Building Better Relationships programme, to take part in a rehabilitation activity and to do 200 hours of unpaid work."

Photo attached.

I wouldn't hold much hope of 'Building Better Relationships' with that

Why do the trans paedophiles almost always change their surnames when they get their ladynames? It couldn’t possibly be because they want a completely new identity that isn’t associated with their crimes, could it?

Everyone knows you need to keep track of paedos because of their high rates of reoffending. That’s why we have an official register of sex offenders.

Much harder to keep track of people who change their names, isn’t it?

Spot on.

GerryblewuptheER · 25/01/2019 14:26

Never happens

Not proper trans

The victim is a liar

Only need because they are trans. Report is transphobic

Have i missed anything?

I am in a permanent state of rage today, so many stories like this. This is just insanity.

feministfairy · 25/01/2019 13:09

Just look at the stories underneath Shock

All detailing minimum sentences for men who stabbed / assaulted their wives / girlfriends and a "high risk sex offender" (paedophile) who assaulted a 3 year old being spared jail despite repeatedly breaching their court orders.

At least the word transgender is in that headline, so credit due there.

Popchyk · 25/01/2019 11:42

But this never happens.
