Smart police officers giving in to a trans rapist is an insult

Rape is one of the most cruel crimes imaginable.

The thought of suffering such a horrific, gruesome and devastating trauma is simply unthinkable.

And the only positive thing is surely the knowledge that the rapist is being treated appropriately so that the victim can try to get her life back under control and look forward.

But a new case has made it clear how useless and pathetic our smart police force is.

This is probably one of the reasons why today five out of six women and four out of five men who are raped do not even report it.

In 2021, a victim told police after a night out in Wiltshire that she had been raped by a man.

Police have arrested the man, known as Lexi Secker.

They recorded in their system that the rape had apparently been committed by a man and charged that man.

Wiltshire Police confirmed that “Secker was living as a male at the time of the offence” and the crime was “recorded as committed by a male”.

But now he identifies as a woman, wants to be known as Lexi, and our weak, pandering police officers have taken part in the trial at Swindon Crown Court.

They referred to him as “she” throughout the trial and, after a four-day hearing, released a statement containing the verdict under the headline “Melksham man found guilty of rape.”

How disgusting.

He is a man and should have been found guilty as a man.

I refuse to refer to a man who has raped someone as “she” or “a person” because that is not his biological sex and it is an absolute insult to the victim.

The police should never have done this either.

Wiltshire Police do not have the sense to actually call him by his biological sex in a crime where his biological sex is of paramount relevance.

Lexi is currently being held in custody at an undisclosed location pending sentencing in September. I assume he is hoping this will be in a special unit.

He is not alone.

“Case shows why women don’t bother to report rape”

In 2020, 76 of the 129 male prisoners who identified as transgender (excluding those with a gender recognition certificate) had been convicted of a sexual offense at least once, including 36 for rape and 10 for attempted rape.

And it’s clear that he discovered his new trans identity after raping the poor victim and then thinking about where he might end up after the trial.

Wiltshire Police thanked the victim for the “inspirational way they handled things” and expressed their joy that the victim “trusted the police throughout and persevered despite all the hurdles”. They added: “They have such incredible strength and I hope this shows others that they can do this too.”

I doubt it, because this case shows why some women – and men – simply don’t bother to report a rape.

The transgender debate is currently intensifying as it has become a central issue in the election campaign. The Conservatives accuse Labour of failing to protect women’s rights.

During a debate with Sir Keir Starmer, Tory leader Rishi Sunak said he would ensure that safe spaces such as toilets and sports teams were only accessible to women and that trans women were not allowed to use them.

Good.

And trans women should never be tried for a crime that only a man could commit.

If it were a case of shoplifting, burglary or verbal abuse, this might be different.

But this is the ultimate male crime of rape, a crime that under British law can only be committed by a man using his penis.

Lexi should have been tried as the man who committed the crime – not as a woman.

Our trust in the police is already at an all-time low.

But it is time for our police to ensure that something like this never happens again.

What Katy did next to attract attention

KATY PERRY wanted to attract attention at Paris Fashion Week, which makes sense considering she’s currently releasing new music.

She looked stunning in her red dress with a train covered in her own song lyrics.

But then she switched to a completely different image, ditching everything but black – including her pretty pink engagement ring and her bright makeup.

The singer wore only a fur coat, torn tights and sunglasses.

She looked scary.

In fact, she looked exactly like Kanye West’s “wife” Bianca Censori.

I sincerely hope the album is a hit so she can stop the publicity stunts before they get even more bizarre.

Ward Grub’s pathetic

I am so glad that Princess Anne has returned home after being hospitalized for a minor head injury and concussion following an accident involving a horse on her estate in Gloucestershire.

And thank God her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, was there to bring her a cool bag with “a few little treats from home” to Southmead Hospital in Bristol.

I cannot even imagine what the poor woman would have eaten without these remedies, if the food there had been anything like that in the hospital where I had the misfortune to spend five nights last September when my son had pneumonia.

The food was awful, the canteen was closed in the afternoon and there wasn’t even a Greggs where you could get sausage rolls.

My only option was the snack machine on the ward, which conveniently accepted credit cards and had a large stack of the latest Slimming World magazines next to it, containing information about the local group.

And 15 bags of mini cheddar later, I considered signing up.

Intentions Hate

THIS weekend 200,000 people will come to Glastonbury.

I will not be one of them.

I have never been one of them and I never will be one of them because I can’t imagine anything worse.

Unless you’re rich enough to afford luxury accommodation away from the crowds, this means sleeping in a tent and waking up (no doubt) with a major hangover and either a sunburn or a soaked bum after the night before.

My idea of ​​hell.

Why is Charl so upset?

Charlotte Trippier, wife of England and Newcastle star Kieran, was criticised for the timing of a cryptic online post which read: “Sooner or later you get over the crap you swore you’d never get over and that’s the best feeling in the world.”

Charlotte, who no longer follows her husband on social media, uploaded it as the team prepared for their match against Slovenia on Tuesday, but then quickly removed it.

The couples are usually private.

In fact, they haven’t even made the name of their third child public yet.

One of his friends complained: “What on earth is Charlotte up to? Why would she do that?”

“Although she is not in Germany, she is very aware of the consequences of her office.”

Of course she does.

One wonders what exactly he did to make her so angry and why she had to make her outburst of anger so public.

1-0 for Charlotte.

But let’s hope her man is on the winning side tonight and England takes at least a 1-0 lead.

Jamie and Jools’ anniversary surprise

Jools Oliver’s posts after renewing her wedding vows to chef Jamie are brilliant.

They married in 2000 and were in Las Vegas to reaffirm their love for the second time on their 24th wedding anniversary.

Jools was wearing jeans, Jamie looked like he was dancing behind Elvis, and the two seemed to be having a lot of fun.

They didn’t have an easy life, as poor Jules had five miscarriages, Jamie had business difficulties and health problems that left him so ill he could barely stand.

But it is clear that their great sense of humor led them to a real marriage.

Happy anniversary!
