Jail for transgende­r man who used sex toy to deceive women

- By Rebecca Camber Crime and Security Editor

A TRANSGENDE­R man who wore a sex toy to deceive women into relationsh­ips with him was jailed for ten years yesterday.

Tarjit Singh, 32, who was born a woman, met his victims online and insisted on having sex in the dark to keep up his deception, a court heard.

One victim, who only realised the truth months into their relationsh­ip, said: ‘He looked like a guy, he acted like a guy.’

Yesterday it emerged that Singh, from Enfield, north London, is currently being held in a women’s prison. Snaresbroo­k Crown Court was told that he had researched ultra-realistic prosthetic penises online before deciding to buy a sex toy from Ann Summers.

When his victims found out about his deception, he would often fly into a rage and beat them up.

He threatened to set fire to one woman, dosing her with lighter fluid and fracturing her nose with a mobile phone. Singh’s rages left another with bruising and a black eye.

He was jailed yesterday for a total of ten years – with further three years on licence after he has served his term – for a series of sexual and physical assaults targeting two women and a girl aged 16 between 2010 and 2016.

He was convicted of three counts of assault by penetratio­n, six of assault occasionin­g actual bodily harm and one of making a threat to kill after a trial earlier this year.
