Bryson, 31, committed offences in Clydebank and Glasgow in 2016 and 2019 before transitioning
A transgender woman found guilty of raping two women before transitioning has been jailed for eight years.
Scott acknowledged Bryson is considered “vulnerable in some ways” due to adverse childhood experiences, but said: “You see yourself as the victim in this situation. You are not.“You raped two women who can both be regarded as vulnerable.” Scotland’s justice secretary, Keith Brown, ordered an urgent review of the case and the Scottish Prison Service took the decision to halt the movement of all transgender prisoners with a history of violence against women into the female estate.
She was found guilty of two charges of rape in January after a six-day trial at the high court in Glasgow. During the trial, the court heard that Bryson was going through the breakdown of a brief, unhappy, marriage and went to stay with the first victim at the victim’s mother’s house in Clydebank in 2016.
The victim said: “I said to stop but he just kept on going, and that’s when I just closed my eyes and I am doing what he wanted to do.”

Govt has been working ‘very hard’ for the past ‘eight months’ for cyber defenceThe government has been working “very hard” for the past eight months to improve cyber defences for Australia, according to Cyber Security Minister Clare O’Neil. “Today, the Prime Minister’s announced a significant change within the Australian government about how cybersecurity will be managed,” Ms O’Neil said during a media conference on Monday. “This will have two impacts - it will make sure that all of that great work that’s happening in government and out in the community will be properly, strategically managed to make sure that we’re cyber-safe as a country. “The second is to make sure that when cyber incidents do occur, as they will continue to occur, we will quickly get back up off the mat and make sure that we’re cyber resilient.”
