A transgender sex offender who transgender sex offender who assaulted a 10-year-old girl in a supermarket toilet has been locked up for 78 days - in a male prison.Katie Dolatowski, 22, who was born a boy called Lennon, skipped her bail accommodation in Grangemouth twice within a week claiming she felt unsafe there, Falkirk Sheriff Court was told.
Dolatowski was convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in the toilet of Morrisons in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in March 2018 and also has convictions for violence against adults.
She first turned up at a hospital in Aberdeen, saying she was unwell, then when she returned to Grangemouth she went out at night again.
Prosecutor Bernadette Cuthbertson said police attended her bail address at 7pm on April 7 but when she failed to appear they reported her for breaking a bail condition to remain there.
It later emerged she had gone to Aberdeen where she was arrested on April 8th.
She was arrested but freed on bail.
The next day, she failed to return to her bail address at night for a second time during the hours of her bail curfew.
Falkirk Sheriff Court heard that Dolatowski had phoned for an ambulance, giving her location as Westfield Roundabout, Falkirk, near Falkirk football stadium and not far from the M9 motorway, and saying she was having a "mental health crisis".
She said: "Perhaps other conditions would have been better, rather than keeping her in the house at night." She said she suffers from anxiety and that she been punished by the imposition of a curfew to stay in a place where she feels unsafe.
"Somehow she ended up in Aberdeen suffering anxiety and distress due to her address being known to people who she feels in danger from, when around them." Imposing the 78 day sentence, Sheriff Craig Harris said: "Whilst an explanation for the breaches of bail has been offered, if you wished to change your address you could have applied to the court for that." "Your breaches of court orders require a custodial sentence as punishment."
