Makes me feel sick to my stomach and so angry.
On reading the article (thank you for the links @ArabellaScott ) Baxter is not the first Scottish drag queen to face criminal charges for child sexual abuse-related offenses.
Another (Easton) was charged, and convicted, for distributing child abuse (so- called pornography) in 2024. The sexual abuse materials found in his possession included images and videos of newborn babies, toddlers and other children under 13.
Easton previously worked with LGBT Youth Scotland. Said charity was exposed in 2022 for participating in grooming/sexual exploitation of two minor boys who had accessed LGBT Youth Scotland's services.
So many are being caught by online child protection teams (as was Easton) who then pass them on to the police, along with carefully gathered evidence. Only for them to be released on bail, awaiting their trial (which can take years), free once again to continue to do what they do.
