Nicola Sturgeon has said she believes a transgender double rapist is 'almost certainly' claiming to be transgender as an 'easy way out'
Nicola Sturgeon has said she believes a transgender double rapist is "almost certainly" claiming to be transgender as an "easy way out".
The SNP leader was repeatedly pressed in parliament today on the case of Bryson - previously known as Adam Graham - who was convicted at the High Court in Glasgow last month of two rapes."That individual has been convicted of rapes and that therefore is the terminology. I’m not going to get into the individual circumstances of that particular individual’s claims to be a woman because I don’t have enough information about that.
Sturgeon responded: "That quote that Douglas Ross narrated there, my feeling is that is almost certainly the case, which is why the key factor in this case is not the individual’s claim to be a woman, the key and only important factor in this is that the individual is convicted of rape – the individual is a rapist – and that is the factor that should be the deciding one about the decisions about how that prisoner is now treated.
