Trans woman sexually assaulted man by concealing she had male genitalia while on a 'date', court hears
A transgender woman has been accused of sexual assault after she 'concealed male genitalia' during a night with a Snapchat date. Ciara Watkin, 21, spent the night with a man after they exchanged messages on the social media platform. Paul Reid, prosecuting, told Teesside Crown Court heard Watkin performed sex acts on the man after he arrived at a house in Thornaby, north Yorkshire, a number of years ago. Mr Reid said Watkin pretended to be on a period so that the man would not touch below the defendant's waist. The prosecutor then told the jury that Watkin later contacted her date to reveal 'a massive secret.' Messages sent between the two were read out to the jury. When the alleged victim asked if the secret was that she was pregnant, Watkin replied: 'I'm trans. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.' The man messaged: 'WTF. So you have a d***?' before repeating his question. Watkin added: 'That's why I haven't s****** you.' 'The defendant had concealed from the man that she had a penis, during their brief relationship,' Mr Reid told the jury. 'The man told the police that if he had known Watkin was transgender, he would not have consented. He said: "I don't swing that way".' The court heard that Watkin's Snapchat profile used a female cartoon avatar and that there had been no discussion about sexuality or gender. When arrested, Watkins told officers: 'Me and him had sex without me telling him I was a boy. When I let him know I was a different gender, he didn't like it.' 'She agreed that sexual activity had taken place,' Mr Reid said, outlining the prosecution's case. Watkin, of Thornaby, denies two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual assault by penetration. The trial continues.
