2015 Convictions
Convictions of males (ie individuals who identify as transgender women or who cross-dress)
Note that many local news sites delete their archive after approx. 1-2 years meaning that reporting of many convictions will be unavailable online and difficult to locate retrospectively. Compared to convictions archived by this site in real time from 2016 onwards, these convictions are therefore likely to be a fraction of those that occurred.
Murder/Attempted murder: 2 (+1 acquitted)
Graham Cleary-Senior: Murder of Frances Cleary-Senior (wife)
Keith/Gladys Solly: Though found not guilty of the murder of Yvonne Tapp by reason of insanity, Solly was acknowledged to have killed the victim (the accused’s partner) and was detained at a secure psychiatric unit indefinitely
Helen Doe: Acquitted of attempted murder of Kenneth Doe (brother) after defence of ‘non-insane automatism‘ accepted by jury
Outside UK
Four males who identify as trans women arrested in Thailand after a British man fell to his death from a hotel balcony
Sexual offences: 13 (9 with child victims, 4 with adult victims)
(Note that if 1% of the population is transgender, for trans-identified males to have similar sexual offending rates as women, at least 1,300 women would have to have been convicted of a sexual offence in 2015. MoJ figures for England & Wales for the past decade consistently show approx. 100 women are convicted of a sexual offence annually – i.e. the convictions listed below indicate male pattern sexual offending, not female)
