A convicted transgender pedophile has complained of the “distress” of being sent to a male prison after he was jailed for horrific crimes against children.
40-year-old Dominic Carter from Hampshire in England was finally sentenced to prison for child pornography charges.
However, Carter claimed to have “changed gender” after he was arrested and insisted he’s a “transgender woman” named “Sophie.”
The pervert was arrested in 2021 while still known as Dominic Mark Carter.
However, he arrived at court to be sentenced in 2023 as Sophie Louise Carter, using “she/her” pronouns, according to the UK Telegraph.
The former tree surgeon was fully decked out in pink — including a hair clip, T-shirt, shorts, and nail polish — for the hearing at Southampton Crown Court, the UK paper said.
Despite still being dressed in men’s clothing, albeit pink, Carter demanded to be sentenced as a “woman.”
Carter, who reportedly “wrestled” with the arresting police officers, was found to be in possession of 11 indecent photographs of children discovered on two phones that were seized.
Two were Category A images, the most severe kind, with a further three being Category B and six classified as Category C.
After admitting to three counts of making indecent images of children in April 2021, Carter was sentenced in 2023 to a six-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months.
In addition to this, Carter was told to complete 60 hours of rehabilitation activity requirement sessions and 120 hours of unpaid work.
But Carter has since appeared in court a further four times after flouting the conditions of the suspended sentence.
He has now been jailed for six months.
Defense attorney Eve Shelley told Southampton Crown Court that Carter is being held in custody at HMP Winchester.
The facility is a Category B men’s prison.
“There are additional difficulties in terms of this particular defendant being kept in that male environment, and that is something that is causing some distress and concern to [him],” Shelley said.
At the hearing, Carter was referred to using female pronouns.
The court heard that the “trans woman” failed to attend his appointments with probation and did not tell police of a change of address.
Carter was said to be living a “chaotic” lifestyle after being convicted and had been made homeless.
The police found that Carter was no longer staying at the address that had previously been registered after the pedophile called the authorities and pretended to have been kidnapped.
Hannah Douglas, prosecuting, said it emerged that Carter had changed addresses when he pretended to have been kidnapped and made a call to authorities.
Douglas told the hearing:
“[Mr] Carter had sent a message to say that [he] had been kidnapped and held hostage… and demanded £140 to be released into a bank account.”
The prosecutor said police spoke to Carter throughout the day until they eventually arrested the defendant.
“It was found she failed to comply with notification requirements, having left [his] registered address,” Douglas said.
“We say it’s a deliberate breach.”
The court heard that Carter also failed to comply with a suspended sentence order and community order which had been imposed after the 2023 conviction.
This relates to the failure to attend appointments with probation earlier this year.
Carter pleaded guilty to all three offences.
Shelley told the court that Carter failed to attend the appointments after he had been kicked out of his parents’ house.
She said Carter was “street homeless” and had been “assaulted.”
“That particular chaotic lifestyle made [him] disengage with probation,” Shelley added.
“This defendant has been remanded in custody since the first of April this year and has used the time in custody in a positive way.
“[He is] now no longer using illicit drugs.
“This defendant has expressed to me an understanding that upon receiving a sentence of immediate custody… that it is an opportunity to use that time positively.”
Judge Nicholas Rowland sentenced Carter to six months in prison.
“Sophie Carter… I have no choice but to impose an immediate custody sentence,” the judge told the male predator.
“I appreciate that your lifestyle is chaotic.
“That last thing I want to do is to have to send you to prison for these offences.
“I have given full credit for your plea,” the judge added.
“I have much hope that now this slate is wiped clean, that there won’t be another one in the future.
“You need to sort this out, otherwise you will go to prison for longer and longer periods.”
