Transgender woman found guilty of raping two women when she was a man
Isla Bryson, from Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, committed the crimes before she transitioned to female.
A six-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard Bryson raped two women: one in Clydebank in 2016 and one in Drumchapel, Glasgow, in 2019.
She met both her victims online, with prosecutors saying she “preyed” on vulnerable women.
Addressing Bryson in the dock on Tuesday, judge Lord Scott said: “You have been convicted by the jury of two extremely serious charges; those being charges of rape.”
He told her the crimes are “considerable” and that “a significant sentence is inevitable”.
Bryson’s bail was revoked and she has been remanded in custody until February 28 to allow Lord Scott to gather “as much information as possible” on her before deciding her sentencing.
The court heard Bryson was going through the breakdown of an unhappy, brief marriage when she went to stay with her first victim at the victim’s mother’s house in Clydebank in 2016.
