Here we go again:

A transgender paedophile who was snared by police officers while trying to meet up with a young boy has been jailed for four years.

Bex McCullgh, from Backwell, North Somerset, was arrested on arrival at the scene in Bristol, where officers were waiting.

At Bristol Crown Court, the 25-year-old – who was previously called Beckham – admitted a number of offences including attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity.

McCullgh was handed an eight-year sentence, four of which will be served in custody, followed by another four on extended licence.

Despite court records referring to the paedophile using “he”, police have since referred to McCullgh as “she”.

So he referred to himself as "he", but the police insisted on "she". Right.

An investigation from the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU) resulted in an arrest in October last year….

Det Insp David Wells, from SWROCU, said: “The sentence handed down to McCullgh reflects the threat she posed to children and, together with the indefinite order, will help prevent her reoffending when she is eventually released."

But it's not a woman posing this threat to children. It's not a "she".
