Trans woman who concealed gender before performing sex act on man is found guilty of sexual assault

A transgender woman who concealed her gender before performing a sex act on a man has been found guilty of sexual assault. 

Ciara Watkin, 21, of Stockton-on-Tees, was found guilty of multiple charges relating to sex acts she performed on the 21-year old man over a number of days in June 2022.

She told police she realised if the man believed she was trans, the relationship would have ended.

They added Watkin is ‘so obviously male’ that the victim had to hav
