A trans-identifying male from Chester, United Kingdom, has pleaded guilty to contacting a 9-year-old child for the purpose of sexual abuse. 

Chloee-Mae Danvers admitted to violating a Sexual Harm Prevention Order that had been placed on him following a separate child sexual offense related to possession of child pornography. Danvers used aliases on various websites without registering them with the police, a clear violation of the order and a way for him to delete his online browsing history. While doing so, Danvers was able to engage in explicitly sexual communication with a child who was just 9 years old.

According to Reduxx, Danvers is a biological male who identifies as a woman. Prior to his convictions, he was an active member of his local LGBT community and played for the "Trans & Enby Football Club" in Liverpool, a team dedicated to "centering trans and non-binary folks." The Instagram page for the club has since been locked, although it is not clear if the club is aware of Danvers’ actions.

In 2022, Danvers attempted to raise money for his gender transition, posting on a since-deleted GoFundMe page, “Hi, my name is Chloee, and I have gender dysphoria. I was born male, but I desire to be a woman. My only option is to go private with the Harley Street Gender Clinic in Marylebone.”

“My goal is to transition into a woman entirely, and these funds would go towards me getting to London and paying for the consultations,” he added.

Danvers’ sentencing was set to take place on September 25 but has been moved to October 11.
