Isla Bryson's mum says transgender double rapist deserves 20 years in prison

The mum of transgender double rapist Isla Bryson has said the jailed predator’s eight-year sentence is not long enough. Janet Bryson, a rape survivor, claimed the convicted sex attacker at the centre of a political storm should have been handed a 20-year term.

Janet, 63, the victim of a sex attack at age 23, said: “To be handed eight years but possibly be out walking the streets in just four years is ­appalling and not much of a deterrent to anyone. I was raped so I know what these women suffered and for that, despite being my son, I cannot forgive him for what he’s done.

“Those two women had to suffer a horrendous attack, the memory of which will probably never leave them for the rest of their lives. They then had to go through a court case and tell complete strangers the intimate details of what happened while their attacker sat there and denied everything.
