Andrew Miller/Amy George
Andrew Miller (aka Amy George), a violent male who identifies as a transgender woman, was convicted at Edinburgh High Court in May 2023 of multiple sexual and violent offences against an 11 year old girl, including abduction, sexual assault, possession of 242 indecent images of children and intentionally causing a child under the age of 13 to look at a sexual image (he had also subjected to her to “pornography and fetish videos”).
Miller, aged 53, appeared from a male prison by video link to plead guilty and will be sentenced at a later date. The BBC reports that the court is considering the imposition of an order for lifelong restriction, which would see Miller held in prison for a set period and only released if the parole board felt it was safe to do so. He also would be monitored for the rest of his life.
Judge Lord Arthurson told Miller that he had admitted “abhorrent crimes” of the utmost “deviance and depravity” and which were “the realisation of every parent’s worst nightmare”. Grotesquely, Miller told police that his violent, sexual abuse of a child was a “motherly thing” and that he was being a Good Samaritan and had “put her in bed with me to warm up”. The child had been lured into Miller’s Jaguar car after being lulled into a false sense of security due to him being dressed in women’s clothes. When the girl bravely managed to call the police after being sexually assaulted and threatened by Miller for 27 hours, he was wearing “a bra, silicone breasts, female pants and tights”.
Miller apparently told the court he wished to be referred to as Andrew Miller and with male pronouns, despite saying he was transitioning. It is appalling to realise that had he insisted on being referred to as Amy George and with female pronouns, media headlines such as the BBC’s “Man abducted and sexually assaulted schoolgirl while dressed as woman” would have been very different and likely reported as “Woman convicted of…” – i.e. essentially reporting the story from the perspective of a depraved sex offender rather than the testimony of a young girl who experienced being sexually abused by a violent, dangerous man, and anyone objecting being painted as ‘transphobes’.

A Sky News reporter confronted Scotland’s First Minister (and proponent of gender self-ID) Humza Yousaf regarding whether Miller will be held in a female prison after sentencing – he predictably dodged the question. Shona Robison MSP can be seen in the background making a swift getaway, doubtless not keen to be confronted about a predatory, abusive man doing exactly what she insisted that there was no evidence predatory, abusive men would do in order to abuse others, as Joanna Cherry MP points out in the below tweet.
