A convicted sex offender who changed gender has had her complaint about two newspaper articles dismissed.

Michelle Lewin complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation over articles published in the Sun, headlined: “Fury as trans paedo put in women’s jail”, and on Mail Online with the header: “Outrage as transgender child groomer who is ‘legally female’ is put in women’s jail leaving inmates terrified”.

In the articles, published on 18 September last year, it was reported female inmates were “terrified” after she was moved into the female prison.
