A group of Bloxco developers conspired together in order to push me out because they did not like the fact that a trans woman with autism was running a successful Roblox Group. These groups were hateful and nasty but relatively low impact (compared to what is to come) and ran for a couple of years. See my statement regarding Bloxco at the time: https://web.archive.org/web/20260505083423/https://www.bloxmart.uk/more/bloxco-statement 

The above image was taken from his public campaign website. See my statement regarding Charlie and details of his behaviour here: Moderley Group - Charlie & "Exposal Group" Statements 

When Charlie took over the hate campaigns, he started recruiting people that would not act within the law. I would receive sexually threatening and abusive material both digitally and to my house, including AI images, drawings and toilet roll stained with bodily fluid. Most of the people involved chose to send this abuse to try to push me out of my online communities due to me being trans and autistic.

When I met with officers outside Alloa Police Station I was specifically told: "Make sure you keep everything you are sent so that we can use it as evidence". I had shown them some of the nasty digital images and messages I was sent, however our biggest concern was rightfully the heavily targeted and sexualised threats, so that is where the investigation was focused. The images sent digitally were AI generated cartoons, so did not involve any real people / victims and therefore were not highly prioritised.

I was then visited in December 2024 by Police Scotland's OCSAE team based in Edinburgh. When they arrived at my property the first thing I asked was, "are you here regarding the reports I made?". She replied, "No, we have a warrant to search this address and we're based in Edinburgh so we have no knowledge of any reports you may have made to your local community officers." - This is where I panicked because I realised that this team were not aware of the full story and might pin the possession of any unlawful content on me.

As you can imagine this was a terrifying experience and I was completely overwhelmed. Hence why the reply to the arrest was recorded as "I don't know", because I was in total sensory overload. To give this team credit where it's due, they handled the matter quickly without keeping me in custody. I was cautioned, arrested and released under bail, all in under an hour. I was not however put through any interview process or shown any of the evidence against me so I was left questioning what exactly was being used.

I believed that this case would be dealt with and would never make it to trial given that there was no criminal intent. Unfortunately though as my case is so unusual, my first solicitors didn't believe I had a defence as they believed the act itself (actus reus) is enough to constitute a crime, even though I believe the lack of guilty mind (mens rea) should be taken into account, as that is how the Scottish Legal System is supposed to work. My legal aid solicitors did the best they could, carrying out reports and enquiries, however I never got to meet them in person (other than seeing them during court proceedings) as their office is not wheelchair accessible. This meant everything was carried out over rushed phone calls and I could not see any of the evidence, hence why I was unaware of some of the things that were sent to me on apps such as Telegram.

I was convinced over the phone that it was easier to simply plead guilty and avoid a trial as I was assured this is a low level offence that is unlikely to attract any media attention or impact my life (RIP). It turns out that legal aid pays very little and means solicitors are financially incentivised to tender a guilty plea at an early stage. Similar to: https://youtu.be/koTV3EGwWDI?si=XmRXh5kFkFfT6bE_ - the above review is of the same law firm that I used, but from another client. I shan't name them however, as I did not find them to be unfriendly, they just didn't build the best defence and only wanted to handle mitigation. I believed I was pleading to the possession element only, hence why it is reported that I was confused in court and there was a break as a result. In the moment I was panicking and felt bad for annoying the Sherrif by not understanding what I was apparently claiming to have done, so I went into autism masking mode and went along with it. It turns out that I had plead guilty to the creation of the images which is not correct.

Immediately the media jumped onto the story. Originally it was STV pushing "INDEPENDENCE CAMPAIGNER CAUGHT WITH..." - conveniently in the run up to the May elections, as well as Kirsty from the Courier pushing an article revealing that I am a Pride Activist and Stirling University Student. While of course those articles are click bait-y and politically motivated, they are nowhere near as bad as the backlash I faced from the transphobic press as well as the far right hate groups. This also led to me being immediately excluded from all my social groups, even Stirling Pride who "permanently excluded" me without having even contacted me to verify any of the information. This upset me as I was a founding committee member of Stirling Pride and makes me realise that better processes should've absolutely been put in place.

When friends and family saw the articles they were shocked and knew something must be wrong. With financial support, I was able to approach another law firm for a second opinion. They claim that I may have a potential defence under the "reasonable and necessary purposes" section of the 1982 act. Of course this legislation was created decades before AI and even the internet, and this defence hasn't been tried yet, so it's understandable why my original legal aid team didn't consider it.

On the Thursday I was visited by a male officer and a female officer. This was the first time this has happened and was an unannounced visit first thing in the morning. I felt the female officer was fair and reasonable, but the male officer came across as being very prejudice and was asking very strange questions as if he was desperate to find fault in anything. Throughout this page I have censored Police Officer's identities as I do not wish to put any at risk (even if this one acted so incompetently it led to me being on remand) so from now on I will refer to him as "Baldy". (There are many bald Police Officers, even within SOPU, so I am avoiding identifying or putting him at risk.) Baldy decided that because I had been sent nudes on a dating app, that I could potentially be "offending", even though the images were of a grown adult, sent from a lesbian dating app that requires age verification. Unfortunately baldy is not aware of what a woman's body looks like so he decided to seize all the devices on my property, putting me in a very vulnerable position. No further charges were made in relation to these devices, however they have still not been returned.

After Police Officers left I went back to bed as my cancer causes me to have very limited energy. When I woke up later I remembered that I had an old Android Doro phone that might be in a bag at the end of my bed. I found it and put my SIM card into it. The SOPU team told me that if I bought a new phone I had to call them to declare it, but I had simply found the Doro phone that they were already aware of from seeing the box earlier, so I thought I would simply check it with them at the station the following day when I complete the notification requirements. I posted a TikTok comment reply explaining what happened that evening. I described it as a Police Raid because that's how uncomfortable Baldy made it feel. The next day when Baldy came on shift he was made aware of the TikTok and was clearly annoyed that I had posted about his actions so he came back to my house first thing in the morning with a different female officer who was really lovely. Baldy believed that due to me not giving them the Doro phone I had breached my bail, so he arrested me. This was on Friday morning - I was held in Falkirk Custody until Monday evening when GeoAmey finally took me to court.

If being held in a custody cell for over 100 hours wasn't insane enough, the Sherrif chose to remand me on Monday evening, apparently he remanded every single person that day... and they wonder why the Scottish Prison Service is overcrowded. Initially I was to be sent to a women's prison in Stirling, however the transphobic powers that be had scribbled over the court document and wrote that I should instead be taken to HMP Low Moss, a male prison. I was kept there for six weeks with no access to my private medicines and very unreliable access to my NHS prescriptions. This led to me becoming incredibly unwell, including my cancer increasing in size in my neck. The SPS officers were very friendly people but prison is a horrible place to be from a healthcare perspective as while the frontline staff are pleasant, it is very poorly ran and over capacity. I also missed several family visits and calls due to staffing or management issues within the prison and I often couldn't make phone calls as I kept running out of credit. I missed several court dates due to GeoAmey and the SPS failing to arrange wheelchair transport. This led to me being held for over six weeks unnecessarily.

I still remember my prisoner number off by heart and I had it written on my arm. Every time there was a court hearing my solicitor motioned for bail due to my declining health and every time was met with the same: "it is the responsibility of the Scottish Prison Service to provide healthcare to those on remand" by the sherrif, who completely ignored the suffering I was going through. The European Convention of Human Rights states an absolute prohibition of torturing prisoners, in response to the atrocities of Nazi rule and World War Two: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment in all circumstances. Human dignity must be respected, even in detention. Acts of torture or ill-treatment must be considered as criminal offences." - Council of Europe. Now I'm talking about our rights as European citizens, and as I am a fierce advocate for the European Union, below I will comment on some of the other Human Right violations that I believe have been committed by the Scottish authorities in my case.
