An Enfield sex offender who presented as male to trick women into relationships and went as far as to use a prosthetic penis has been convicted.

Tarjit Singh, 32, had abusive relationships with the women between June 2010 and March 2016.

Singh, who was born Hannah Walters but now identifies as a transgender male, would keep clothing on and have sex with the women using a prosthetic penis in the dark.

When the victims began to ask questions, Singh became abusive and manipulative, telling one victim that there was more to a relationship than sex and that she should learn to talk about her feelings more.

Following a trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Singh was today convicted of three counts of assault by penetration, six counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and one count of making a threat to kill.

Crown prosecution service spokesperson Melissa Garner said: “These victims have been deceived, betrayed and lied to in the most disturbing and traumatic of ways. One of the victims was just 16 when she met the defendant.

Enfield Independent:

“Singh has never admitted his crimes and has continued to claim that these victims were aware of his gender.”

One victim only found out Singh was not a man after finding a strap-on prosthetic penis some months into their relationship. She told police officers that she felt so stupid that she had fallen for such lies.

She said: “He looked like a guy, he acted like a guy.”

Singh told another victim he had been born a boy, had a sex change to become a woman, and now wanted to be a man again.

The third victim met Singh after receiving a message from the dating website Plenty of Fish in 2014. Soon into their relationship they were told there would be a sex change and Singh would become a woman.

The victim met with Singh after what she believed was the sex change operation and noticed breasts but no scarring.

Singh was caught out after this relationship became abusive and the victim made a complaint to police. The investigation then linked back to two earlier victims.

Singh will be sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on July 27.
