Trans woman Lexi Secker jailed for six years for rape

The court heard how Secker has depression and gender dysphoria and requires psychological and medical treatment.

Secker has also been subjected to numerous assaults while being held at a male prison, it was alleged.

As the defendant is biologically male, they will serve their sentence in a male prison.

The judge told Secker: “At the time of this offence, you were a man.

“You identified as a man and you were, on the evidence, clearly attracted to women.

“You were not disinhibited at the time by your conditions.

“There is no evidence they were as present and compelling as they are now.”

Wiltshire Police previously said Secker was living as a man when the attack took place, on April 23 2023, but was tried as a woman at Swindon Crown Court.

The force confirmed that the rape was recorded as being committed by a man.

The sex of a defendant recorded by police at the time of their arrest will mirror what is on court records and other criminal justice system data.
