A judge has incarcerated a ‘dangerous’ trans woman rapist, Angel Hill, for committing serious physical and sexual assault.
Angel Hill, aged 20, received an enhanced term for her offences. The Minshull Street Crown Court was informed that Hill, who is undergoing a male-to-female transition, exhibited ‘violent, manipulative, and domineering behaviour.’
She admitted guilt to assault by penetration, sexual assault, strangulation, and making threats with a bladed weapon about the victim. “I ascertain that you possess no awareness of your behaviour whatsoever,” Judge Jason MacAdam informed the defendant.
I find no evidence that would suggest you are inclined to alter your behaviour. Your perspective is characterised by a self-centred attitude. Your acts’ repercussions appear to elude your cognition, or if acknowledged, are disregarded. I perceive you as a legal threat.
Angel Hill, from High Peak, Derbyshire, received an enhanced sentence of 11 years, comprising seven years of incarceration and four years on extended license.
During the prosecution, Stuart Neale stated that the victim experienced difficulty breathing when Angel Hill perpetrated the act of strangling. He stated that Hill had proclaimed, ‘I’m going to murder you,’ earlier during the same event.
In a statement presented to the court, the victim described the impact of the assaults on their mental health. In defence, Julian Goode asserted that the defendant remains a youth and has not attained full adulthood.
He stated that she has encountered significant mental health challenges and contended that she was sincerely regretful. Judge MacAdam stated he would mitigate the sentence in consideration of the defendant’s youth and mental health. He additionally decreased the punishment by 20 percent due to her guilty plea.
The judge stated, “The victim in this case was spared the distress of providing testimony.” He instructed Angel Hill to sign the sex offender registry. Angel Hill was informed that she must serve a minimum of two-thirds of the seven-year jail sentence prior to being eligible for parole.
