couldn’t see this elsewhere so apologies if it’s already been posted. Awful case. The decision to refer to the defendant as male feels interesting though - a step in from what we’ve seen

This is a court case and therefore he must be assumed to be innocent until convicted. A jury trial so not sure they are going to be believe the "she told me she was 16" excuse.

For anyone who doesn't know there is discussion of Soul Survivor on 2 threads - first one https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/philosophy_religion_spirituality/4785221-have-you-or-your-kids-been-to-soul-survivor

Surely they need to check with Nicola Sturgeon before deciding which pronouns to use?

Screamingabdabz · 12/08/2025 08:53

Let’s face it. He’s not trans in any way shape or form is he? Why don’t they get psychological expertise in here before declaring him trans rather than allowing that to muddy the water of justice. He’s just a pathetic criminal rapist who is using every loop hole to get mitigation.

Oh and he was a steward at Soul Survivor too.Hmm

How surprising, I knew it would probably be that Christian Camp.

Volunteer police officer raped child, court told

vs

Tribunal hears that trans doctor sobbed when reporting nurse

The cynic in me thinks the ‘accurate’ reporting is more to do with the context and even perhaps to do with protecting the trans community (a la Sturgeon’s evasion on correctly sexing Isla Bryson) rather than with adopting sex realist reporting. They know that people often just look at the headline.

Nothing about him on reddit - you can guarantee there would be pages of threads if this had been a story about trans hate. They always stay silent when a TIM is implicated in a crime. And will no doubt say he's not a "real" TW.

Like others I really want to know when he became "she". If it was after conviction, the TRA's will latch onto that.

I had to Google what a "Metropolitan Police volunteer officer" might be. It turns out it's what we used to call a special constable or hobby bobby.

I wonder if it is just a “being fair to everyone” sort of thing. A bit like when we stopped at the services when my kids were younger and one child was desperate for the loo and the other claimed he didn’t need it and I would say in a sing song voice. “And everyone is going for a wee wee now” as for some reason ds was much less resistant to being forced to go to the loo when he thought his sister was being forced too (even though the past 10 miles complaining that she needed the loo).

The three things I get from this story though is:-

  1. Yet another trans woman rapist
  2. Yet another Met officer rapist
  3. Did the Met allow this male rapist to strip search women?

Oh and he was a steward at Soul Survivor too.Hmm

Sick bastard. And why does the article say ‘they’ at one point I wasn’t sure who the article was referring too. He is a he, and did a distinctly male crime. She was a just a child when she was groomed, raped and trauma bonded. I hope he serves time in a male prison where he belongs, and I hope she gets all the support and help she needs. She’s so brave, whilst I know nothing will ever take away her trauma, or the pain and suffering she has been subjected to, I hope she gets some kind of justice.

I hate it when news articles about sexual abuse are written salaciously

LadyBracknellsHandbagg · 11/08/2025 22:55

That thing that never happens has happened again, another child sacrificed on the altar of this insidious ideology.

potpourree · 11/08/2025 22:54

"Born a man", as the BBC says, is such odd phrasing. I can't help imagine a full-grown man ...emerging... wagging his finger at the woman birthing him wrong and explaining how it actually should be done.

There's no info on when James decided he was actually a woman.

Could well have been years ago.

🤣🤣🤣

Prison Onset Gender Dysphoria is a thing, who knew? we did, we are not stupid

Those poor victims, my heart goes out to them and their families.

I wonder when they suddenly had the womanly feelz. Before or after getting caught 🤔

I think the exact moment of rapist transgender conception is the moment they get caught & arrested. The gestation period lasts until the moment the rapist hears how much prison time they are facing. This is the moment a rapist transgender is born, and are observed asking for lippy, a wig, and a swishy skirt or cock bulging tight leggings.

Thank you for that link.

Mr Milne told the court the defendant and the alleged victims would be referred to by their biological sex throughout the trial when discussing the allegations.

Can you make out why the alleged victims would be referred to by their biological sex, as we do not I read that the alleged victim, little girl was transgender?

BettyBooper · 11/08/2025 21:16

But, but, but this never happens!

So TIMs police officers should definitely be allowed to strip search women 🤔

Interesting, the Mail have chosen to describe him as "they."

Omegle was full of predators.

AzureCats · 11/08/2025 21:07

Ffs the BBC article about this keeps saying "had sex with the victim". It's rape if it's a minor! I despair. I'll report a complaint if I can about the wording.
