The Offender Database reported that a dangerous transgender deviant South Shields sex offender, Abbi Taylor, who discarded soiled adult nappies and entered refuse bins outside children’s nurseries, has evaded a prison sentence after being subjected to multiple punches, kicks, and general physical assault while in custody.
Abbi Taylor, also listed as Martin Tarling, defaced milk bottles and the fire escape of a nursery with faeces during a series of “bizarre” occurrences.
A court has been informed that the 46-year-old identifies as a woman; nevertheless, they are incarcerated in a men’s jail and were addressed using both male and female pronouns at a sentencing hearing on Friday.
Abbi Taylor received a two-year prison term, which was suspended for two years following the judge’s acknowledgement of his “particularly difficult time” in custody.
The defendant, hailing from South Shields, admitted guilt to three charges of illegally disposing of bags containing hazardous items – specifically, nappies with human excrement – at nurseries in South Tyneside.
Abbi Taylor confessed to pilfering clinical waste bags from a business and violating a criminal behaviour order previously issued by Nottinghamshire Magistrates’ Court by coming within 10 meters of a nursery without justifiable cause.
Following the adjournment of a prior sentencing hearing in April, Newcastle Crown Court was informed that Abbi Taylor had been detained in custody for nearly three months after admitting to three more violations of a criminal behaviour order.
Jane Foley, prosecuting, said staff at a nursery in Cleadon noticed nappies “much larger than the ones they used” were being dumped on the premises “on a fortnightly basis” and in May 2023, a female member of staff saw Abbi Taylor climbing out of one of the bins and running off.
The manager at a South Shields nursery, which suffered similar incidents, reported seeing someone “rooting around inside” one of the clinical waste bins in January 2023, the court heard.
Another nursery in Jarrow had up to 50 nappies strewn around the car park and excrement smeared on children’s milk bottles and the fire escape, with staff eventually refusing to open up in the morning, Ms Foley said.
In April 2023, Nottinghamshire Magistrates imposed a three-year criminal behaviour order preventing Abbi Taylor from going within 100m of nurseries after she was convicted of causing harassment, alarm or distress at a nursery after being seen climbing out of a nappy bin wearing a large adult nappy over his trousers.
Abbi Taylor was interviewed after that incident and admitted to going into a bin “to sleep and find comfort”.
The court was told of similar previous incidents going back to 2014.
Ms Foley said that in June this year, Abbi Taylor admitted to three breaches of a criminal behaviour order, involving bin-related incidents.
In one incident, on September 25 last year, an outraged resident at a block of flats filmed Abbi Taylor standing inside one of the communal bins, hurriedly pulling up his trousers as she climbed out of the bin and ran off after being confronted.
The court was told Abbi Taylor’s Facebook profile referred to being an “adult baby diaper lover”.
The judge, Recorder Richard Herrmann, said: “This is a highly unusual and highly troubling set of offences, made all the more troubling by your failure to properly and fully explain the motivation behind your bizarre offending.”
He said he would suspend the two-year prison sentence for two years after hearing about Abbi Taylor’s time in custody, saying: “I know that you know what to expect if you breach this order in any way.”
Abbi Taylor, who will be fitted with a GPS monitoring tag, was also ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work and participate in 40 days of rehabilitation activities.
