Transgender butcher, 53, pleads guilty to kidnapping and sexually abusing girl: Predator offered to give child a lift before abducting and attacking her

  • Andrew Miller, known as Amy George, lured victim into a car dressed as woman

A transgender butcher has pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexually abusing a schoolgirl.

Andrew Miller, who has also been known as Amy George, lured his young victim into a car in February while dressed as a woman, Edinburgh’s High Court heard.

He then took her back to his home, trapped her in his bedroom and repeatedly sexually assaulted her. 

The child only managed to escape and call 999 for help after Miller fell asleep, the court was told. 

Miller, 53, who is currently transitioning and was addressed as a male by the court, appeared via video link to plead guilty today.

The offences included abduction, sexual assault, possession of indecent images of children and intentionally causing a child under the age of 13 to look at a sexual image. 

The court was told the child was walking home after meeting friends when Miller, a stranger to the girl, offered her a lift in his vehicle.

As the car drove past the area of her home, the child reminded Miller that that was where her house was, but he insisted he needed to pop home to drop something off and he would return her home thereafter.

They entered the property where Miller began abusing her in the converted dining room before carrying her to the main bedroom.

The young girl was assaulted multiple times over the course of 27 hours, the court was told.

The victim repeatedly asked to be allowed to go home, but Miller insisted she needed to warm up first and later told her he would return her in the morning.

She complied with his demands as she didn’t want to make him ‘mad’, fearing each attack would get ‘worse’.

Miller then told her that he intended to keep her for a week, but on another occasion told her he wouldn’t let her leave as she was his ‘new family’.

The judge described the crimes as ‘abhorrent’ and ‘every parent’s worst nightmare’, Sky News reports. 

The case sparked much local anger when it first emerged, and the butcher shop Miller once owned was boarded up by detectives earlier this year.

It comes after the case of transgender rapist Isla Bryson sparked a public outcry.

The serial sex attacker, once known as Adam Graham, decided to identify as a woman after being accused of the sex offences.

The infamous case earlier this year exposed a flaw at the heart of Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP policy, which would allow anyone over 16 to ‘self-identify’ as the opposite sex without needing a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

And although Isla Bryson – who was jailed for eight years – was later transferred from a female to a male prison for assessment, Ms Sturgeon refused to back down on her party’s policy, which set the Scottish government on a collision course with Westminster.
