A convicted pedophile, who claimed he was transgender when he was jailed for previous crimes, has been sentenced to life in prison for raping two of his fellow inmates after he was sent to a women's prison.
52-year-old Stephen Terence Wood was jailed in the UK in 2001 for raping two boys, aged 9 and 12-years-old.
After being released from prison in 2003, he drugged and raped a pregnant woman - who happened to be the wife of his friend - but managed to escape prosecution.
Terence, who now calls himself "Karen White," sent to New Hall prison in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on remand last September after being arrested on suspicion of repeatedly stabbing a neighbor.
He was sent to the women's prison after claiming he was transgender and raped the female prisoners during September and October.
As the judge issued the life sentence, White was called a “predatory and controlling” rapist.
Terence/White's past convictions include indecent assault, indecent exposure and gross indecency involving children, animal cruelty and dishonesty, according to The Guardian.

According to the Daily Wire, The British Ministry of Justice has apologized for transferring White to the female prison.
The Ministry acknowledged it had not considered White’s previous history before moving him.
Judge Christopher Batty told White, “You are a predator and highly manipulative and in my view, you are a danger.
"You represent a significant risk of serious harm to children, to women and to the general public.”

In 2003, after exiting prison, White admitted to raping a pregnant woman after secretly spiking her drink, causing her to lose consciousness before he raped her.
Although White was arrested, he was not prosecuted.
Fifteen years after the attack, the victim gave evidence in the latest trial against White, telling the court that her husband didn’t believe her, adding, “I have no relationships with anyone.
"I felt very dirty as a woman.
"I became very depressed.
"Even now 15 years on I still struggle with mental health and suffer horrendous flashbacks.
"Until 15 years ago I was a strong woman.”
In 2017 White was arrested after repeatedly stabbing his 66-year-old neighbor.
White has admitted to probation officers he could abuse a child and "think nothing of it."
Another woman claimed White had violently raped her five or six times in 2016.
