Gender bender

A MAN accused of attacking his ex-partner has undergone a sex change in a bid to escape justice.

He is using Spain’s new ‘Trans Law’ to claim he cannot be tried for gender violence as he is now a woman.

He is currently under investigation for breaking a restraining order and already facing trial for attacking the same woman, with whom he has a child.

The new law however, makes it clear the crime will be judged on the basis of the legal sex that the person had when the offense took place.

Confusingly the accusations were initially made when the Alicante man was male, although new crimes have taken place since he became a woman.

Alicante court has had to reach out to the Supreme Court on advice on how to proceed.

Onion wronged

A MISLATA farmer could be hauled to court for accusing cops of stealing onions.

Local police say his social media claims are totally false and they will sue him for libel.

The farmer claimed he was working at 4am when he saw two police officers standing next to 'two bags full of onions'.
