REDUXX: A recidivist violent sex offender, now back in custody after a recent escape attempt, ‘identifies as female’.
Larry Bemboom has a long history of sexual predation, beginning at 13 years of age when he sexually assaulted an eight-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy. Between the ages of 19 to 30, he committed numerous further sexual offenses, mostly against children. When aged thirty, he was arrested for sodomizing a 12-year-old girl.
In 2003, then aged 32, Bemboom pleaded guilty to the sexual assault of a 39-year-old African American woman whom he raped both vaginally and orally. He made racist remarks to the victim while assaulting her and he forced her to call him ‘master’.
Bemboom was sentenced to five years imprisonment for this horrendous crime. Prior to his scheduled release in 2008, he was deemed as meeting the statutory definition of a sexually violent predator and he was involuntarily committed to the Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Service (SORTS) programme in Farmington, Missouri. He has remained in civil commitment ever since. At some point during his incarceration, he began claiming a trans identity and now calls himself Kelly McSean.
Earlier this month, Bemboom was detained at St Francois County Jail, Missouri, following charges of violence against employees of the Missouri Department of Mental Health. On 17th January, together with four other felons, two of whom are also sex offenders, he escaped from the jail by climbing through a plumbing access hole.
All five men were recaptured within the week. While Bemboom was at large, however, various news outlets reported his absconding using his female name and describing him as ‘identifying as a female’. The New York Post even described him as a ‘transgender woman’ and afforded him female pronouns.

It was Cervical Cancer Prevention Week between 23rd - 29th January. This is an important event to raise awareness and encourage women to be screened.
Cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease if it is diagnosed and treated early enough. Proper screening greatly improves the chances of survival. However, 1 in 3 women do not attend for regular screening, a dangerous situation that needs to be addressed urgently, hence the need for an ‘awareness week’.
It is, therefore, absolutely shameful that so many organisations are erasing women from its promotion.
The Thames Valley Cancer Alliance referred to ‘people with a cervix’.
Astoundingly, the Government of Jersey spoke of transgender men, gender non-conforming people and those ‘assigned female at birth and with a cervix’. Everyone, in fact, except women.
In another incredibly confusing tweet, the Government of Jersey promoted screening “If you’re female or have a cervix”.
NHS England ignored women altogether and spoke in general terms about ‘people’ not coming forward to be screened.
According to Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, almost half of the women in the UK do not know what a cervix is, still less realise that they have one. And it must be remembered that many of the women in need of cervical screening will not speak English as a first language or, indeed, at all.
Official figures show that record numbers of women are not being regularly screened for cervical cancer. About 3,200 women in the UK are diagnosed with this disease each year. Around one quarter of those women- approximately 800 - will not survive.
The situation is urgent. To encourage women to attend for potentially life-saving screening, what’s needed is clear, plain language. But it seems ‘inclusivity’ is more important than saving women’s lives.

REDUXX: The trans-identified male prisoner accused of raping his female cellmate has been revealed as a convicted felon.
A few weeks ago we reported that Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was investigating allegations that a trans-identified male raped a female prisoner at the county jail.
A woman incarcerated in the jail alleged that she was raped by the detainee with whom she was sharing a cell on 4th January. She was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Centre to be examined. Court records show that her cell mate was “A biological male who identifies as a female”.
Reduxx has discovered the identity of this trans-identified male detainee. He is Michael Cole, also known as Michelle Cole, a convicted felon.
Over the last ten years Cole has served time for a list of felony convictions including robbery, domestic battery and receiving stolen property. Various court documents refer to him as both male and female. In 2018 Cole was convicted on charges relating to the murder of another trans-identified male, Brandon ‘Brandi’ Bledsoe. He was sentenced to six years imprisonment for tampering with evidence, obstruction of justice and the gross abuse of a corpse. At the time it was reported that Cole did not ‘identify’ exclusively as either a man or a woman.
Following the rape allegations, Cole was moved from the Hamilton County’s jail and is currently incarcerated at the Ohio Reformatory for Women (ORW), a female facility.
Tuesday 24th January - This Never Happens #3
BBC SCOTLAND: A trans-identified male has been found guilty of raping two vulnerable women and was initially remanded to a female prison.
Last week we reported on an ongoing court case involving 31-year-old Isla Bryson, a trans-identified male formerly known as Adam Graham. Appearing at Glasgow’s High Court, Bryson was found guilty of raping two different women. Both of his victims were described in court as ‘vulnerable’.
He committed the first attack in September 2016 at a property in Clydebank. Bryson restrained his victim before pulling off her clothes and raping her. In a pre-recorded testimony, the woman recalled repeatedly saying ‘no’ to Bryson as he attacked her.
He raped his second victim at a Glasgow flat in June 2019. Bryson lay on top of the woman to restrain her and then he bit her before raping her. His victim recalled feeling ‘crushed’. “I told him to stop and he did not”, she said. “He kept going. That is when I closed my eyes and let him do what he wanted to do.”
Bryson is described as ‘muscular’ and as having facial tattoos similar to Mike Tyson. When he first appeared in court on these charges in 2019, he was known as Adam Graham. A year later, Bryson suddenly decided that he ‘identifies as a woman’ and by the time the case went to trial, he had changed his name to Isla Bryson. Jurors were told that Adam Graham was now his ‘dead name’ and he was referred to with female pronouns throughout the proceedings.
Bryson’s suddenly acquired new ‘gender identity’ allowed his barrister, Edward Targowski KC, to claim that he is somehow vulnerable and ‘in no way a predatory male’. Targowski even implied that Bryson’s being transgender was a cause for acquittal. He told the court, “If you accept that evidence, that she [sic] is transitioning, that she [sic] is aiming to continue on that path to becoming female gender, that goes a long way to acquitting her [sic] of these charges”.
While awaiting sentencing, Bryson was initially remanded to Cornton Vale women's prison. Cornton Vale, comprising a mother and baby unit and a young offenders unit, houses some extremely young and vulnerable women, many of whom, it is reported, have mental health issues.
Bryson’s estranged wife, Shonna Graham, described his ‘gender identity’ as ‘a sham’. She told The Daily Mail his so-called ‘transition’ is just an attempt on his part to be accommodated in the female estate. “Never once did he say anything to me about feeling he was in the wrong body”, she said. “He's just bullshitting the authorities”. She added, “Sending him to a women's prison is outrageous – will one of the vulnerable women inmates be the next victim to be attacked by him? He won't stop, it's in his nature”.
Wednesday 25th January - More Mermaids Madness
The transcript of the case brought against LGB Alliance by child-catcher charity, Mermaids, has now been made publicly available. As documented by Transgender Trend, it contains yet further shocking revelations about the charity’s operation.
These admissions concern Mermaids Chair of Trustees, Dr Belinda Bell. Of these, the most shocking are:
When questioned about the definitions of sex and gender, Bell stated, on oath, that she does not know whether or not babies are born with a biological sex. “Well, you see, I'm not clear [people] come out of the womb with a sex.”
Bell claimed that the Cass Review is not Mermaid’s ‘field’.
She was unconcerned about the sudden increase of teenagers expressing a transgender identity.
Bell contradicted herself over consultation with GIDS, first saying Mermaids had no contact with them, then later admitting they met about once a year.
She described being concerned about the welfare of young lesbians as ‘niche’.
Thursday 26th January - Leave Them Kids Alone
REDUXX: A trans-identified male substitute teacher instructed pupils to seek out his sexually explicit TikTok account.
Lydia Lamere, who is also known as Chris Lamere, Lydia Moon, Clodagh Moon, and Clodagh Lamere, has, according to his social media accounts, identified variously as non-binary, transgender and a lesbian. Recently, he was employed as a substitute teacher at King Middle School in Portland, Maine. According to one of his pupils, Lamere wrote the handle of his TikTok account on the board at the front of the classroom and encouraged students to ‘check it out’.
Lamere’s account featured some extremely inappropriate content, including videos of himself in a state of undress, discussing sexually explicit matters and/or discussing his medical transition.
In one video, wearing only a towel, Lamere posed provocatively in front of a mirror.
In another video, he described taking cross-sex hormones.
A further video saw Lamere discussing ‘kink’ and sexual positions/activity.
At his invitation, students at the school viewed Lamere’s TikTok account and then began to share, circulate and discuss his videos in group chats.
One pupil brought this to the attention of her father who, in turn, contacted the school principal, Caitlin LeClair. Soon afterwards LeClair emailed parents to say that she had been made aware students were viewing, sharing and discussing these inappropriate videos and that, following an ‘investigation’, Lamere would no longer be working at the school.
Friday 27th January - Beauty School Drop-Out
STV NEWS: While on bail, double rapist, Isla Bryson, enrolled on a college beauty course at which young women were required to undress in his presence.
In 2021, while on bail and awaiting trial for two rape charges, Adam Graha, aka Isla Bryson, enrolled on a beauty course at Ayrshire College. He was then calling himself ‘Annie’.
The course involved both class-based and practical work during which the students, most of whom were very young women in their teens and early 20s, would practise their skills on each other. For certain treatments this involved the students being practically naked.
Rachel Ferguson, who is now aged 21, was one of Bryson’s classmates. She told STV, “We did a spray tanning course one day, and obviously you need to take your clothes off for that. And I was the model, and there were a few other girls that had taken their underwear off... I’m baffled. I just don’t understand how the college let Annie on the course.”
The Daily Record reported that his classmates described Bryson as ‘overpowering’ and ‘disruptive’. He made constant complaints about the other students, accusing them of discriminating against him, and he verbally attacked them in class.
Rachel Ferguson told the paper, “I didn’t go to college for three weeks because I was scared of the way she [sic] was coming at me. I didn’t even look at her [sic] because if I did, it gave her [sic] ammunition to say things to me. The way she [sic] spoke to the lecturers was disgusting. She [sic] made two of them cry. I found her [sic] very forceful and intimidating.”
Another former student, 18-year-old Abi Nixon, also described being undressed in class while Bryson was present. “We had next to nothing on... She [sic] hadn’t fully transitioned yet but we all accepted her [sic] for who she wanted to be”.
A man, even a sexually violent man, can be in a classroom full of half-naked teenage girls and nobody dares say a word about it. That’s the all-pervading power of a ‘gender identity’.
Saturday 28th January - Déjà Vu
THE TELEGRAPH: Yet another dangerous and violent trans-identified Scottish male was approved for accommodation in the female estate.
Formerly known as Andrew Burns, Tiffany Scott is considered one of Scotland’s most violent prisoners and has been described as ‘dangerous and unpredictable’. In 2010 he violently assaulted a nurse at Leighton Hospital in Crewe and in 2013 he admitted to stalking a 13-year-old girl.
In 2017 Scott he was charged with a series of violent assaults against staff in Glenochil Prison. He struck a prison nurse across her back with a chair, punched a prison officer in the face and spat at and tried to bite another officer. When he was being sentenced for these offences at Falkirk Sheriff’s Court, Scott smeared excrement on his cell wall and ripped up his supposedly tear-proof clothing. The court had to be locked down and members of the public were cleared from the courtroom amid fears that Scott presented ‘a clear danger’ to them.
In 2018, while incarcerated at Slaughton Prison, Scott slashed a fellow inmate with a razor blade, causing a wound to the man’s face which required 18 stitches.
He is one of only about 100 offenders in Scotland subject to an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR), meaning he will only be released when he is no longer considered an ‘unmanageable risk to public safety’.
In 2016, Scott, then called Andrew Burns, claimed to be transgender and changed his name to Tiffany. It is reported that he has not physically transitioned and is not undergoing any medical treatment for his supposed dysphoria.
It has now been revealed that the Scottish Prison Service approved Scott’s transfer to a female facility.
On Saturday The Daily Record reported that Scott’s transfer had previously been refused but that senior managers overturned that decision in recent weeks and approved his move to a women’s prison.
The following the day, The Daily Record reported that, in a sudden turnaround, the Scottish Prison Service has decided that Scott will remain in a male prison for the foreseeable future while an ‘urgent review’ is undertaken.
We know this reverse-decision was only taken because of increased media scrutiny. Had the papers not reported on and sparked and outcry over the intention to accommodate Scott in the female estate, he’d have been moved there quietly and we’d have be none the wiser. And yet again a violent man’s ‘gender identity’ would have been prioritised over the safety and dignity of vulnerable female prisoners.
Sunday 29th January - Within These Walls
THE DAILY RECORD: A former female prisoner has spoken out about her terrifying ordeal when incarcerated with two violent trans-identifying males.
41-year-old mother of four, Amanda Benson, was one of about 40 other prisoners when she was on remand in a women’s prison. Two of her fellow prisoners were trans-identified males. Neither appeared to be undergoing any sort of medical transition, nor did they ‘present’ as female in any way; both dressed, looked and sounded like men. “One of them was a domestic abuser who was over six feet tall and extremely threatening looking, the other was serving time for murder.”
Speaking of her terror on realising she was to be incarcerated with a pair of violent males, Amanda told the paper, “I felt total panic, it was like a wave of fear crashing over me… I just wanted to keep my head down but I was feeling increasingly suicidal”. Amanda also said that she feared ‘misgendering’ these men in case she fell foul of the prison authorities and had her sentence increased.
Shockingly, Amanda and the other women in the facility - many of whom have suffered male violence or have mental health issues - were expected to share communal shower facilities with these violent men.
“We didn’t have showers in our cells and so we had to shower in the communal shower block, so women who were traumatised and vulnerable had to be naked and shower with men in their spaces. I know some female prisoners decided not to shower at all as a result because they feared they would be raped or assaulted.
I went to the prison doctor and was given a contraceptive coil, something I have never used nor wanted to use, but I couldn’t take the risk of being raped and becoming pregnant. So I was forced to do that to my body just to feel like I was protecting myself in some way.
I didn’t want to share showers with men, but I was forced to. I didn’t want to see naked and aroused men in my shower area.”
Speaking of Scotland’s gender bill, Amanda commented, “I honestly can’t believe that Nicola Sturgeon could be so stupid as not to understand the clear problems with the policies she is pursuing… She knows as well as everyone else that making it easier for men to self ID in the eyes of the law as women without any medical input is going to ultimately make it easier for predatory men to gain access to female spaces. It is the most vulnerable women who are going to suffer as a result of this every time”.
See you next week.
After this week and on hearing some really good interviews from Julie Bindel and others plus a great monologue from Andrew Doyle, I was beginning to think…. maybe, just maybe we’re getting somewhere. Then this morning on GB News some Labour plonker saying ‘ oh it’s just a small side issue that can be easily accommodated.’ A man of course, apologies to Graham and other brilliant men.
I’m afraid it’s all caused me to do something I very, very rarely do …. fucking swear my head off, over and over. I’m fucking furious. What the fuck is it going to take to wake up these wankers. I go back to another of my posts, with added expletives..it’s taken me nearly 70 fucking years to realise just how little women matter.
"Most abused minority in our society" really has to go to female prisoners. It's despicable how their safety is being denied.
