Transwoman Ella Potter accused of firebomb blackmail plot:

Ella Potter, 28, is said to have demanded money with menaces in threats made against Norton Peskett solicitors, which has offices in Norwich and Great Yarmouth….

Potter, of Westfield Gardens in Wymondham, did not enter a formal plea to the charge but told magistrates: “I think I will be pleading not guilty.”

Wearing a skirt but with a full beard, the defendant was referred to as “Miss Potter” throughout the hearing despite being identified as male on court documents.
