It's always the ones you least expect, innit?
Look at these tortured headlines from the British media, which has to avoid calling this man a man because it's against the law to disrespect someone's gEnDer iDenTity:
"Natalie Wolf, also known as Ryan Haley" 🥴
Some outlets didn't even try. They referred to the man as a "she."
Though news reports don't specify when the assault happened, the adult victim was 13 when Ryan Haley groped her.
From the Daily Record:
Wolf, 47, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison after the victim detailed the traumatic impact the crime had on her life. The judge at Newcastle Crown Court dismissed Wolf's conspiracy theories, reports ChronicleLive.
In a heart-wrenching statement read out in court, the victim said: 'I know you as Ryan Haley, a man who sexually abused me. There are few things more isolating than living in a body you don't feel safe in. I've carried shame, self-doubt and a sense of disconnection from myself.
'I'm left carrying what they did. It made my body feel like a battlefield. Watching them celebrate their life and body feels like salt in my wounds. While I've watched Ryan move forward, I'm left carrying what he did.'
At some point in the years following the assault, 47-year-old Ryan changed his name to "Natalie Wolf" and started living his best life as a woman.
When he was arrested for the crime, he apparently told police that the victim had hypnotized them.
[Judge Gavin Doig] said: 'You make allegations in the notes, most of which I won't repeat, including the suggestion someone was hypnotising the jury or that the jury was planted with people that didn't like you so they convicted you. You suggest the victim hypnotised the police officer.
'You are not the victim of a conspiracy. You are not the victim at all. (The woman) is the victim and the sooner you accept that, the better it will be going forward. You will be released from prison in due course. I hope you are able to move on and receive the help you need.'
Ryan also complained about being assaulted in the men's jail (Durham Prison) where he is being housed.
