A TRANSGENDER Met Police volunteer has been found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting a young girl.
James Bubb, 27, asked one of his victims to perform a sex act in public when she was just 12.

Amersham Law Courts heard Bubb was born male but now identifies as a woman and is called Gwyn Samuels.
Prosecutor Richard Milne said he would be referred to by his biological sex throughout the trial when discussing the allegations.
Bubb was today found guilty of XXXX following a trial.
Jurors heard Bubb first began speaking to the 12-year-old girl on a website called Omegle before they met in person at a Christian festival.
He told the girl they were in a relationship, despite her wearing a “bracelet pass” for a child.
Their communications became sexual around a month after first meeting online, with the victim describing their relationship as a “trauma bond”.
Bubb is accused of taking the girl’s virginity and choking her so she could not speak.
Mr Milne said: “He would tell [the first victim] that they enjoyed being raped, to which [they] replied no.
“The Crown says this defendant befriended and sexually assaulted [the complainant] just before her 13th birthday.”
The court heard on one occasion, he forced her to perform a sex act in public.
Bubb was forced to hurriedly pull up his trousers “in a panic” when a dog walker went past.
The jurors heard he had sexual encounters with the girl when she was 13 to 15 years old.
During these occasions, Bubb would “choke, punch and hit” her.
After a gap, the defendant raped her when she was about 18 years of age.
The court was told Bubb met the second complainant on Omegle when she was 18-years-old.
She claimed the pair were “re-enacting a rape” but explained she would say no, which would be the signal to stop.
But Mr Milne said: “During the course of sexual intercourse she said she had said no and stop and he had simply carried on.”
The girl also accused volunteer cop Bubb of using “officer training techniques” on her to restrain her without permission.
Following his arrest in April last year, the defendant told police “he’d never had any non-consensual sex or act with (the first complainant)”.
Bubb pleaded not guilty to one count of rape in relation to one victim.
He denied two counts of rape, two counts of sexual activity with a child, one count of assault of a child under 13 by penetration, one count of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration in relation to the other girl.
All offences took place between January 1, 2018, and April 2, 2024.
