Transgender pedophile who identified as female after attacking young girls via social media apps is locked up in men’s prison

A transgender pedophile who identified as female after being told to sign the sex offenders register has been locked up in a men’s prison for targeting young girls as young as nine on social media apps.

Thomas Quinn, 25, was arrested after he skirted strict rules on his name and movements by identifying himself as ‘Chloee’ and using multiple female names on Snapchat and TikTok to communicate with teenagers and ask them for sex.

During the exchanges, Quinn, who classifies herself as a “femboy bombshell,” messaged a 13-year-old girl saying, “Can you date me? I love you. Are you a virgin?’.

A second girl, aged 15, was told: ‘Nice, hot, a real 15-year-old,’ while a third, aged 13, was sent a message asking her to show her bra and adding: ‘I love you , Darling.’

During a conversation on the Session app, a girl who said she was nine years old was told by Quinn, “So I could come over?” before trying unsuccessfully to find out her address.

Officers indicated Quinn was active on social media, raided his Chester home and seized devices including a hard drive as well as a collection of 558 pornographic images of children plus 81 videos

When Quinn was first charged last August, police called him Thomas Quinn and gave him a male pronoun in a press release, even though he had already identified himself as Chloe and a “femboy” in 2021.

A fourth youth who told Quinn he was a “nonce” was told: “It looked like you weren’t wearing any underwear.”

Officers tipped off Quinn was active on social media, raided his Chester home and seized devices including an iPhone SJP, an Ace laptop and a detachable Seagate hard drive containing the sick chats, as well as a collection of 558 pornographic images of children plus 81 videos.

Of these, 68 were the most serious ‘A’ category and 11 were described as ‘extreme pornography’.

Investigation revealed that Quinn referred to himself as ‘Chloe Foreman’, ‘Sophie GF’ and ‘Chloe Twitch’ on his social media accounts, but police were unaware of his alter egos as he was on the sex offenders register as Thomas Quinn . He currently identifies as Chloe-Mae Danvers.

When he appeared in court this week, he was treated as a ‘he’ and then a ‘she’ by prosecutors, before Cheshire Police eventually issued a second release referring to Quinn as a ‘she’.

On his and feminine characteristics, don’t like women. men or masculinity. Any man who tries to flirt with me will literally be exposed.”

In 2022, Quinn attempted to raise £1,400 on GoFundMe for a private gender transition, saying: ‘Hi, my name is Chloee and I have gender dysphoria. I was born a man, but I want to be a woman.

‘My only option is to go private at the Harley Street Gender Clinic in Marylebone.

‘My goal is to become a full woman, and this money would go to London and pay for the consultations.’

At Chester Crown Court, Quinn was sentenced to 40 months in prison after pleading guilty to 21 offences

He was also said to have played for Liverpool’s ‘Trans & Enby Football Club’, a team dedicated to ‘centring trans and non-binary people’.

He has been held in the private Altcourse men’s prison in Liverpool since his arrest.

At Chester Crown Court, Quinn, who wore a ‘two-tone’ hairstyle – beetroot on the right and turquoise blue on the left – was jailed for 40 months after pleading guilty to 21 offences.

These include making and distributing indecent images of children, attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), attempting to breach a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and failing to comply with the requirements of the sex offenders register.

None of the girls he communicated with were traced.

Quinn was initially visited twice by police as part of routine checks as he was served a sexual harm prevention order in 2020 for having indecent images.

Initially, an iPhone 7 containing two indecent images of children was found in a deleted folder and he later admitted to flouting the SHPO by deleting his internet history.

But officers returned to the property on August 5 and found a red iPhone with the username ‘Chloee Twitch’ on it.

On another social media app called Session, the phone was logged in under the username “Sophie GF.”

Quinn was initially visited twice by police as part of routine checks because he was given a sexual harm prevention order in 2020 for having indecent images.

Andrew Sinker, prosecuting, said: ‘The suspect is required under the terms of the sex offenders register to inform police of his current name, including any aliases she uses.

‘But neither Chloee Twitch nor Sophie GF were registered in any police system.

“On the Session app, there is a chat with a user who identifies themselves as 99 years old.

‘After he was told this, the suspect said that he would come to visit them. The defendant tries to find out the nine-year-old’s address, but it is not disclosed.

‘There is another chat log on the session app with a user named Mumrubs2dauCP.

‘The defendant is shown a non-indecent image of a child, while the other user says they are ‘rubbing’ her.

‘She is then sent a video categorized as indecent image Category A and during another chat on the session app with a user called Genny she is sent two Category B videos and then shares the Category A video she has received with this user.

“When the defendant was interviewed, she did not comment on any questions.”

In mitigation, counsel for Quinn, Sarah Badrawy, said her client had been diagnosed on the autistic spectrum, adding: “The defendant has been warned and it is recognized on her behalf that she faces an immediate prison sentence of some length.

‘But we are dealing with somewhat hypothetical situations; they are all attempts. It cannot be proven that they are real people.

“They could always be decoys or vigilantes.”

Miss Badrawy added: “She has hope for her future. She wants to take a creative writing course and is still supported by her parents.

“These are some proactive factors that will benefit her upon her release.”

Sentencing the judge, Mr Recorder Eric Lamb, said: ‘I accept the mitigation addressed to me and that I must take into account your mental and developmental issues in order to reduce your culpability.

“However, I must consider the totality of your transgression.”

He added: ‘I have to consider whether there is a significant risk of you causing serious harm.

‘I am convinced that you are at such risk because of the number of multiple offenses for which you are convicted and the highly relevant previous convictions.’

Quinn will serve two-thirds of his sentence before the parole board can consider whether he can be safely released.

After his release, he will be licensed until 2028 under the conditions of an extended sentence.

After the case, Det Con Stephen Park named Quinn Danvers and said: ‘Danvers is a prolific sex offender and an incredibly dangerous individual, and I welcome the sentence handed down to them today.

“They had no choice but to plead guilty after a catalog of evidence was collected against them.”
