Transgender paedophile, 25, who identified as a woman won family's trust to groom 14-year-old girl and got her pregnant

A paedophile was able to groom, sexually assault and get a 14-year-old schoolgirl pregnant after identifying as a transgender women.

Tattooed David Orton befriended the young victim and her family and was trusted to be alone with her because of the 25-year-old's gender status.

But Orton was beginning a nine-and-a-half year jail sentence today after her parents alerted the police in October 2020.

Orton - of Hinckley, Leicestershire - had groomed the victim so extensively she had at first refused to believe she was being exploited and sexually abused.

But last June she told officers about the relationship and revealed she was pregnant with the sex offender's baby.

Last night women's rights campaigner Caroline Ffiske told MailOnline: 'This is the type of tragedy that gender critical women are worried about.
