High court for England and Wales rejects challenge of former inmate who claims she was sexually assaulted by trans prisoner
A legal challenge to prevent transgender inmates, with convictions for sexual or violent offences against women, being imprisoned alongside women has been rejected by the high court.
A female former inmate, who claims she was sexually assaulted by a transgender women prisoner with a gender recognition certificate (GRC), while in HMP Bronzefield in 2017, asked judges to declare the justice secretary’s policies on the care and management of trans prisoners in England and Wales to be unlawful.
