Female prisoners at greater risk of sexual assault by transgender inmates
"Trans prisoners should be excluded from female wings because they are "disproportionately" likely to commit sexual assaults, the High Court has heard."
"Speaking on the first day of the two-day remote hearing, Karon Monaghan QC, representing FDJ, told the court that trans inmates account for one per cent of the population of the women's estate but "they are responsible for 5.6 per cent of sexual assaults".
"There's a disproportionality," she said, adding that trans inmates are "more likely to be committing sexual assaults in the prison estate".
