Transgender double rapist Isla Bryson will be sentenced today for the rape of two vulnerable women, while still known as Adam Graham. The 31-year-old was found guilty of raping one woman in Clydebank in 2016 and one in 2019 in Drumchapel, Glasgow, following a five-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Bryson met both the victims online, with prosecutors saying the 31-year-old "preyed" on vulnerable women. After the jury at the High Court in Glasgow delivered its guilty verdict, judge Lord Scott told Bryson the crimes were "considerable" and said that "a significant sentence is inevitable".
The case sparked an uproar after Bryson was initially housed in solitary confinement at an all-female prison before being moved to the male estate following the outcry. Scotland's Justice Secretary Keith Brown ordered an urgent review of the case and the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) took the decision to halt the movement of all transgender prisoners with a history of violence against women into the female estate.
