A Wiltshire transwoman who raped a woman after a night out has been jailed.
Lexi Secker, who was born Alexander Secker, launched a sex attack on his highly intoxicated victim in a woodland in April 2021.
The incident happened in Swindon following a night out in Blunsdon.
At Swindon Crown Court back in June this year, they were found guilty of rape by a jury.
Today (Friday), the defendant – of Lowbourne in Melksham – was sentenced, with the judge handing down a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence – which they will serve in a male-only prison.
The 35-year-old committed the crimes as a male but they were on trial as a female named Lexi.
DC Corrina Wiltshire said: “I would firstly like to thank our victim in this case who has been inspirational in the way they have handled things.
“I hope this sentence gives other victims the strength to come forward and help police seek justice for them.
“This case has taken a long time to get to this point, but I’m pleased to say the victim has trusted the police throughout and stayed with this despite the hurdles.
“They have such incredible strength and I hope it shows others that they can do this too.”
