A biological male who tricked a young man into believing he was having sex acts performed on him by a biological woman has been jailed for 21 months. Ciara Watkin, 21, who identifies as a woman, spent the night with the man at a house in Thornaby, Teesside, after they met on the social media platform Snapchat.
Watkin performed sex acts on the man after telling him not touch below the waist because of menstruation. After the case, the police referred to Watkin by female pronouns – while describing the defendant as “biologically male”.
The defendant was previously convicted of three counts of sexual assault following a trial at Teesside Crown Court. Recorder Peter Makepeace KC, sentencing at Durham Crown Cour
