A child rapist, who now identifies as a woman, has been found guilty of assaulting a child with their “penis.” Dominic Risden, also known as “Lexi-Rose Crawford,” was convicted of raping a female friend in Bristol Crown Court in April 2019.
Risden was previously convicted in 2017 of having sex with a 15-year-old girl they met online. After serving only half of their four-year sentence, Risden identified as a woman and was released on license conditions. The victim reported that Risden tried to undress and molest her while they were playing video games at the victim’s home.
This case highlights the controversy surrounding transgender individuals in female-only prisons. The placement of transgender women in these facilities has caused backlash and sparked debates about the definition of gender.
Risden will be sentenced on May 10th, and it is expected that they will be placed in a male prison due to recent changes in UK policy. The verdict and the controversies surrounding this case have sparked discussions about the intersection of gender and crime.
