A transgender prisoner who was being detained in a female prison has been jailed for life for sexually assaulting two women prisoners while on remand.
Sky News reports that Karen White a man who identifies as female admitted to sexually assaulting two women prisoners and to have previously raped two other women.
White is currently “transitioning” to a transwoman, so his genitals and penis had not yet been surgically mutilated when the prison service transferred him to a female prison in an effort to be politically correct.
They have now admitted that this was a “mistake”.
White already has convictions for indecent assault, indecent exposure and gross indecency involving children, violence and dishonesty.
When sentencing Judge Christopher Batty described White as a “predator” and said that he is a significant risk to women, children and the general public.
White will serve his life sentence in a male prison.
