James Bubb, seen with a dock officer in court, is accused of raping two girls

Amersham Law Courts heard Bubb was born male but now identifies as a woman and is called Gwyn Samuels.
Prosecutor Richard Milne said he would be referred to by his biological sex throughout the trial when discussing the allegations.
Jurors heard Bubb first began speaking to the 12-year-old girl on a website called Omegle before they met in person at a Christian festival.
Bubb allegedly told the girl they were in a relationship, despite her wearing a "bracelet pass" for a child.
Their communications became sexual around a month after first meeting online, with the alleged victim describing their relationship as a 'trauma bond', it was said.
Bubb is accused of taking the girl's virginity and choking her so she could not speak.
Mr Milne said: "He would tell [the first alleged victim] that they enjoyed being raped, to which [they] replied no.
'The Crown says this defendant befriended and sexually assaulted [the complainant] just before her 13th birthday.'
The court heard on one occasion, he forced her to perform a sex act in public.
Bubb was forced to hurriedly pull up his trousers "in a panic" when a dog walker went past, it was said.
The jurors heard he had sexual encounters with the girl when she was 13 to 15 years old.
During these occasions, Bubb would allegedly "choke, punch and hit" her.
After a gap, the prosecution says the defendant raped her when she was about 18 years of age.
The court was told Bubb met the second complainant on Omegle when she was 18-years-old.
She claimed the pair were "re-enacting a rape" but explained she would say no, which would be the signal to stop.
But Mr Milne said: "During the course of sexual intercourse she said she had said no and stop and he had simply carried on."
The girl also accused volunteer cop Bubb of using "officer training techniques" on her to restrain her without permission.
Following his arrest in April last year, the defendant told police "he'd never had any non-consensual sex or act with (the first complainant)".
The prosecution said he will likely claim no sexual activity took place in relation to the one complainant when she was under age.
Jurors heard his defence will also say that in relation to the charges alleged to have taken place when the same complainant was over 16, the sex was consensual.
Bubb has pleaded not guilty to one count of rape in relation to one complainant.
He also denies two counts of rape, two counts of sexual activity with a child, one count of assault of a child under 13 by penetration, one count of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration in relation to the other complainant.
All charges are alleged to have taken place between January 1, 2018, to April 2, 2024.
The trial continues.

Russia breaks through Ukrainian frontline as Putin sends 110,000 troops into the meatgrinder days before Trump summit
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VLADIMIR Putin's forces have reportedly made a sudden breakthrough in Ukraine's front lines - just days before a showdown with Trump. Around 110,000 Russian troops reportedly made the surprise thrust near the coal mining town of Dobropillia - marking the most dramatic advancement this year.

The move could even be designed as a bargaining chip - increasing pressure on Kyiv to give up land. Bloodthirsty Putin's forces have reportedly advanced by at least 10km north in two prongs in recent days, as part of their attempt to capture the entire Donetsk region. Russian forces surged towards three villages on a section of the frontline near Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported. Ukraine's DeepState authority said: "The situation is quite chaotic, as the enemy, having found gaps in the defence, is infiltrating deeper, trying to quickly consolidate and accumulate forces for further advancement." Russian troops reportedly used small sabotage and infantry groups to carry out their advancement. Ukrainian authorities said additional units had arrived in the affected areas. Some of Putin's forces have reportedly already been eliminated or captured. It comes as Russia accused Britain of trying to sabotage the Ukraine peace talks set to be held between Trump and Putin. The Kremlin slammed the UK and accused it of trying to disrupt the crunch talks - after Sir Keir Starmer warned the Russian leader could not be "trusted". Nazi lies, Vlad's propaganda & troops on border… chilling signs Putin ready to invade ANOTHER European nation after Ukraine The Russian embassy in London said: "We note the ongoing attempts by London and some of its partners to disrupt a peace resolution of the conflict by eliminating its root causes. "This is clearly demonstrated by the statements and activity developed by the British leadership in the run-up to the Russian-American summit in Alaska." Sir Keir backed Trump's plans but urged to be more caution. The PM's official spokesman said: "Never trust President Putin as far as you could throw him, but we obviously will support Ukraine. "Any ceasefire cannot just be an opportunity for President Putin to go away, re-arm, restrengthen, and then go again." Trump said on August 8 that he hopes to hold a meeting with Putin in Alaska on August 15. Washington and Moscow are said to be eyeing a deal to put an end to the bloody conflict in Ukraine - but it may not be all good news for Kyiv. Trump told reporters in The White House that Zelensky is "going to have to get ready to sign something" in order to bring peace to his nation. Top diplomats from the US and Russia and currently working on an agreement to finalise post-war territories, senior officials told Bloomberg. Zelensky's invite to the peace talks is still being weighed up by the White House and it is currently unclear if he will attend or not. Sources said Trump's team is trying to get Ukraine and its European allies on board to get a peace deal that would see Kyiv make some concessions. One major sticking point for Moscow is the annexation of Ukrainian territory - one of Putin's long-term demands. Zelensky has been adamant that Ukraine will not accept any further annexation of its land. Although he suggested Russia could be allowed to retain some of the land it has taken. Moscow is likely to demand that Ukraine cede its entire eastern Donbas area to Russia, as well as Crimea - which Moscow annexed in 2014. This means Ukrainian troops will need to withdraw from the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk - the regions still being held by Kyiv. In return, Moscow would stop its offensive in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine along the current battlelines, according to the officials. Kyiv risks being presented with a take-it-or-leave-it offer during the high-stakes meeting. Zelensky has told European leaders they must reject any settlement proposals by the US that demand Ukraine give up further land. Trump announced on Friday that the only way to resolve the issues is for both sides to accept losses of land. He said: "It's complicated, actually. Nothing is easy. It's very complicated. "We're going to get some switched. There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both." The MAGA prez said he would try to return territory to Ukraine. Don added: "Russia has occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They've occupied some very prime territory. "We're going to try and get some of that territory back for Ukraine." Putin, who has consistently rejected calls for a ceasefire, said that he wants peace but that his demands for ending his invasion were "unchanged". More to follow...

Plane thug who threatened to ‘gang rape' hostess may get longer in jail after MPs wife handed DOUBLE for Southport tweet
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PLANE thug who threatened to "gang rape" a hostess may get longer in jail after an MPs wife was handed double the term for a migrant tweet. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has referred Salman Iftihar's 15-month sentence to the Attorney General for being "unduly lenient". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Salman Iftihar launched into a sick rant on a Virgin Atlantic plane Credit: Central News 6 The tycoon was locked up for 15 months despite his rap sheet Credit: Central News 6 By contrast, Lucy Connolly was jailed for 31 months for one tweet Credit: PA He said the term was evidence of "two-tier justice" after Lucy Connolly was caged for 31 months for a tweet about the Southport riots. Mr Philp told the Mail: "Iftikar was sentenced to only 15 months in prison last week for threatening an air stewardess with gang rape and for racially aggravated harassment. Iftikhar has multiple previous convictions. "Yet Lucy Connolly got 31 months for a far less serious offence - a prosecution Lord Hermer personally authorised. "This is two-tier justice in action. "I have today referred the case to the Attorney General Lord Hermer for review under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. "We'll now find out if Hermer is willing to take action to fix Britain's two-tier justice problem." Shocking footage showed Iftikhar, 37, tell Virgin Atlantic crew member Angie Walsh she would be attacked in her hotel after landing. The tycoon launched into the foul-mouthed rant after downing champagne on an eight-hour flight from London Heathrow to Lahore, Pakistan. Iftikhar said Ms Walsh would be taken from her hotel room, gang raped and set on fire. He also threatened to blow-up the five-star hotel where the cabin crew were set to stay. Isleworth Crown Court heard Iftikhar has six previous convictions, including for common assault, in what the judge described as a "lengthy and appalling" rap sheet. Despite her comments, she only jailed the thug for 15 months after he admitted making threats to kill and racially aggravated harassment. In contrast, Connolly was locked up for 31 months after admitting publishing threatening or abusive material intending to stir up racial hatred. The childminder had shared a social media post just hours after three girls were knifed to death in Southport last summer. She wrote: "Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care... "If that makes me racist, so be it." Connolly launched a bid against her "harsh" sentence but this was thrown out by Court of Appeal judges. Her husband Raymond Connolly, who is Conservative vice chair of the committee on adult social care at West Northamptonshire Council, said she had been shown "no mercy". In a letter to the Attorney General, Mr Philip pointed out Iftikhar made "over 100 sickening threats" to cabin crew as opposed to Connolly's one post. The Attorney General's Office will now decide if the sentence was unduly lenient and if so, refer it to the Court of Appeal. Dad-of-three Iftikhar, who was later revealed as a debt-ridden tycoon with two wives, could then see his jail term increased. 6 Iftikhar threatened to gang rape the cabin crew worker Credit: Central News 6 The millionaire, seen with one of his wives Abeer Rizvi, pleaded guilty Credit: Instagram

Trans officer's alleged rape victim so young she liked teddies, court told
A transgender volunteer police officer allegedly told his victim he wanted to rape her despite her being 'so young' she was still interested teddy bears, a court has heard. Amersham Law Courts heard that James Bubb, who now identifies as a woman named Gwyn Samuels but will be referred to by his biological sex throughout the trial, was violent towards the complainant when taking her virginity while in her early teens. In a police interview played to the court on Tuesday, the alleged victim told officers that at the age of 12, the defendant, who was 21, looked 'paranoid' when the pair were out in public together. The complainant met Bubb on Omegle, a video-chat site for strangers, in 2018. She spoke of how she was 'frozen' when the now-27-year-old defendant attempted to engage in sexual activity in public shortly before her 13th birthday. She reportedly told the defendant she was five years older than she actually was when they first met, but insisted he knew she was underage. The complainant told police of their first in-person meeting at a Christian festival where Bubb, who was working as a volunteer steward at the time, made remarks about going into her tent and having sex with her. She spoke of how the pair met up away from other festival-goers and said her colour-coded child wristband was clearly on show. 'I remember being scared' The alleged victim said: 'He was really paranoid, looking around constantly. We were in a relationship in my eyes but I was being hidden whenever we were in public. 'He made remarks in person about when it was dark… about coming into my tent and having sex with me. 'I was actually so young at that point that I had a teddy bear in my tent. He knew at the time that I was very much interested in things like teddies.' Addressing how she felt when the defendant spoke of going into her tent, she continued: 'I said I wasn't comfortable with that… and I believe he sent me a text on Snapchat at that point and he said he was probably going to come into my tent either way – maybe while I was sleeping. 'I remember being scared that night.' The complainant went on to speak about how when the pair started having sex, Bubb was violent. She said: 'He had his hands around my throat. I tried to get words out but they weren't coming out as easily.' She told the officer that sometimes the defendant was 'hitting me during sex… sometimes he would punch me'. 'He would also make remarks about raping me,' she added. 'He told me I enjoyed being raped and when I said no, he didn't stop and that's when he made these specific remarks.' The defendant has denied one count of rape in relation to one complainant and two counts of rape, two counts of sexual activity with a child, one count of assault of a child under 13 by penetration, one count of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration in relation to the other complainant. All charges are alleged to have taken place between Jan 1 2018 to April 2 2024. The defendant, of High Street, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, denies all charges.
