The police telling lies

A press release from Sussex Police:

Woman convicted of historic offences against children in Sussex

Seven children who were sexually abused in Sussex between 26 and 33 years ago have seen justice done after their abuser was jailed for 20 years on Thursday, September 8.

Sally Ann Dixon, 58, of Swanmore Avenue, Havant, Hants, was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court after being convicted of 30 indecent assaults against her victims.

Except, of course, that the perp is actually a man. Naturally Sussex Police doesn’t admit that until the 8th paragraph.

At the time of the offences, Dixon was John Stephen Dixon, who transitioned to female in 2004 – after the period during which the offences took place.

Not our crime.

Sussex Police is telling us we’re not allowed to point out that Dixon is a man.

It’s IRRELEVANT that the child molester who sexually assaulted at least seven children is a man??? That’s NOT RELEVANT? Women are supposed to just kick back and nod in agreement at a headline that says a woman committed those crimes?

Yes. According to them, yes.
