The 18-year-old transgender victim was stabbed nine times after she was dragged to the floor by the mask-wearing gang and was subjected to transphobic slurs. The act was organised as revenge after one of her attackers was told she was trans after they had engaged in a sexual relationship.

Angry about the incident, other members of the group, which included four teenage boys and a young woman, set about creating a ruse to “beat her up” in north-west London. In a victim impact statement, the victim said she now finds it “difficult to trust people” and struggled to leave her home, and that the stabbing had left her with scars across her body.

The woman said she still has “thick scars” as a result of the attack, adding: “I never thought someone could have so much hatred towards me.”. The woman said she had suffered panic attacks since the incident and has struggled to sleep, adding she fears she might not be able to work as a model thanks to her injuries.
