Transgender paedophile, also in a red-and-green elf-like cap. She asked for to be addressed like a woman during the fifteen-minute hearing. After being assisted into court by a “helper”, her costume was jangled and bells were ringing. 

Verainer also sucked her thumb at the hearing, and she was allowed to sit with the rest of the audience in the public gallery. 

Verainer from Chatham (Kent) was accused of approaching random schoolgirls on December 18, 2019 and January 31, 2019, after she had already been banned from having contact with children.

The order was imposed in November 2016, when Verainer was jailed for 15 months at Canterbury Crown Court after being seen kissing a child outside a café in Thanet.

Indecent images of her were also discovered on her mobile phone. She was diagnosed with personality issues, but she did not have mental problems. 

The sentencing of her on Thursday was postponed until February 25, so that a probation report can be completed. Already, a psychiatric report was completed.

Verainer wore her hair down in pigtails at an earlier hearing and took a dummy while she denied the charges.

The prosecution dropped the charges against three more people for failing to follow orders. 

Verainer, a 5-year-old girl from Canterbury Crown Court claimed that she was Jorven Seren. She received a ticking-off from the judge after she hugged a doll while she waited for her fate at the dock.

At the time, Judge Adele Williams said to Paul Hogben his defense barrister: “That’s totally inappropriate and she makes it clear that she won’t be doing this for the remainder of the hearing.”
