Woman charged with raping, assaulting and strangling other women

FFS! At what point are the finer points of when a woman can be convicted of rape by joint enterprise relevant to this case where a TIM committed rape?

Yes she was charged under the joint enterprise rules but she was charged with rape.

A woman will never be charged with rape unless its under joint enterprise as there must be a male rapist to commit the act of rape

"by joint enterprise" means as an assistant to or accomplis to.
The man was convicted of rape. the woman convicted rape by joint enterprise (an assistant /accomplis to rape ) both treated with equal severity in sentencing potential.
woman can be convicted as an assistant.accomplis to rape as a secondary liability if they encourage or assist the rape.

Women cant be charged with rape in the uk because in law rape requires a penis.A woman could be charged with being an assistant/accomplis to rape or with a sexual assault but not rape If this person is charged with rape its because he's male.

You are correct that a woman cannot commit the rape but you are incorrect to say that a woman cannot be charged with the offence of rape.

A woman can be charged with the offence of rape. It literally says in the CPS statement that you quoted that a woman can be charged with the offence of rape.

The quote below is also from the CPS

"A rape is when a person uses their penis without consent to penetrate the vagina, mouth, or anus of another person. Legally, a person without a penis cannot commit rape, but a female may be guilty of rape if they assist a male perpetrator in an attack."

In the UK rape is defined as assault by a p3nis, but I think a woman who assists a rape can also be charged with rape.
Not that this is the case here. It's outrageous that male rapists are being described as women, and their crimes being reported as crimes by women.

The Supreme Court ruling should have ended all this gibberish.
No-one can change sex.
The men who claim to be women have serious psychological problems and/or a porn addiction.
Men with a porn addiction are not women.

'transgender women' is arguably wose than 'transwoman'. Still, confusion is the objective, isn't it? But it's not supposed to be like that in journalism. Their simple job is to say what's happening.

Third paragraph of that abysmally crafted piece:

"Avon and Somerset Police have said the defendant and victims in the case are adult transgender women."

Ah I see man rapes other men isn’t quite as sensational is it

The thing that never happens seems to never stop happening.

I just saw 'Bristol'. And went... Yeah...

It’s strange that the headline in the link is transgender woman, but then it changes to woman when you get on to the story. The Bridgwater Mercury have gone for man but when you click on the link it doesn’t work.

"It is important to note that rape is a gendered offence in law because it requires penile penetration, (though women and girls have been convicted of rape on a joint enterprise basis) but victims can be of any gender."

But as I say, no suggestion of joint enterprise in the report.

Your reply sounds confident but I believe you are incorrect. It was definitely mentioned in the crime module of the GDL when I did that that could be situations where women could be charged specifically with rape as a result of assisting and I think it even came up on the exam that year. It may have been under the joint enterprise doctrine, although criminal law is not my area.

Anyway, I think this must just be a man as nobody else is mentioned.

I'm really lost for words. Accuracy is so important, it's a man for crying out loud!

I hope the victims get the support and healing they need, how horrible.

I can't believe it's taken this long... to go from "ah yeah did he, and what were you wearing?" To "wait a minute, what do his ex girlfriends say about him". At last

Edit to add - sorry this is off topic to the main topic of the article
