British Transgender woman found guilty of raping two women while she was still man

A transgender lady who had been living as a man was today found guilty of raping two other women.

When Isla Bryson committed violent sex assaults on people she met online in 2016 and 2019, she went under the alias Adam Graham.

Bryson had been released on bond, but today Judge Lord Scott ordered that they be remanded in custody until their sentencing in Stirling on February 28. She is currently being held at an unknown facility.

In July 2019, she made her first appearance in the courtroom as Adam Graham with a Mike Tyson-inspired face tattoo. The rapist was later referred to as Annie Bryson in high court documents from the year 2020.

Around this time, according to Bryson, she first decided to ‘transition’ from a guy to a woman.

She was referred to as Isla Bryson at the time of the trial, and the jury was informed that Adam Graham was now her “dead name,” which a transgender person is given at birth but no longer uses after transitioning.

Having met the first victim while using the alias Adam on the Badoo dating service, she had attacked her in a flat in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire.

This happened right after Bryson’s relationship with another woman came to an end.

Bryson asserted in her testimony that she had basically used the 30-year-old as a place to reside.

The victim, however, claimed that she had been “head over heals in love” with Adam. She eventually suffered though as Adam turned from “caring” to losing his cool over insignificant issues.

On September 16, 2016, Bryson locked the door and climbed into bed next to her when the rape took place.

The victim stated: “I assumed Adam had come for a cuddle and – at that point – everything felt funny and wrong” in pre-recorded testimony that was given to the jury.

“I had no idea what was happening.”

She remembered saying “no” a number of times as a “muscular” Adam pressed himself on her.

The victim’s mother had to turn on a light in the hallway in order for the nightmare to end.

On June 27, 2019, a second woman was sexually assaulted in a Drumchapel, Glasgow, apartment.

Bryson explained before the jury how she met the 34-year-old on the social media platform Bigo and that they had discussed her “sexuality concerns.”

The two were reportedly intending to see the movie Mean Girls together when the court heard this.

The victim remembered feeling “crushed” as the assailant, whom she identified as Adam, pressed himself against her.

I told him to stop, but he didn’t,” she said. He continued on. I then closed my eyes and allowed him to go as he pleased.

Bryson, who claimed to be “scared” in the witness box, frequently broke down in tears when denying the allegations in her own testimony.

I would never do that, she declared. I would never assault a woman.

Bryson did acknowledge “cheating” on the initial victim, saying, “She loved me.” I killed myself by harming her in that way.

Regarding sexual contact with the second woman, she told jurors: ‘I did not make the first move. I can assure you.’

She will be sentenced on February 28.
