The mum of transgender double rapist Isla Bryson has told how she’s been left traumatised by the case because she has been the victim of a sex attack.
Rape survivor Janet Bryson revealed she initially had no idea that the predator at the centre of Scotland’s biggest political storm was her son – who now claims to be a woman. In a harrowing interview, the mum of three, who was attacked when she was 23, told how Bryson knew about her ordeal and why she believes no rapist should be allowed in a women’s prison.
Tearful Janet, 63, who last saw her child – then Adam Graham – six years ago, said: “I saw the story about Isla Bryson being convicted of raping two women. I saw the pictures. I didn’t recognise the name or the person – it was only after a friend pointed out who it was that I knew it was my son and that he was now living as a woman.
