Trans woman guilty of rape should not be in female prison, Joanna Cherry says

A TRANSGENDER woman convicted of rape should not be put in a female prison, Joanna Cherry has said.

The SNP MP’s comments come after Isla Bryson – who was called Adam Graham before beginning their transition – was found guilty of raping one woman in Clydebank in 2016 and another in Drumchapel in 2019, following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

It is understood she is being held at Cornton Vale women’s prison in Stirling while awaiting sentence for the crimes.
