You may remember this totally unsurprising news from last summer:
And we assume you will be equally un-surprised by the verdict delivered this week:
From the Beeb:
A man has been jailed for 24 years for raping an "extremely vulnerable" 12-year-old boy after the pair met on a dating app.
Stephen Ireland, 41, who co-founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, raped the child at the flat he shared with his then-partner and co-defendant David Sutton, 27, in Addlestone on 19 April 2024 after messaging on Grindr.
Ireland was also sentenced to a further six years on extended licence, while Sutton was jailed for four-and-a-half years for making indecent photographs of children and possession of an extreme pornographic image.
It's always the ones you least expect, right?
Of course, in addition to being a major LGBT advocate and Pride booster, Ireland was also a relentless supporter of the transgender movement, often targeting prominent transgender critic J.K. Rowling for vitriol:
Upon announcement of his three-decade prison stint, Rowling remarked:
Are you suggesting sexual predators would stampede to embrace a movement intent on removing protections for women and children? Can't see it, myself.
Good luck in prison, Steve!
