In 2026, Alexandria Stewart—previously known as Alan Baker—has been accused of carrying out a sexual assault against a woman inside a female prison. The investigation established that the alleged assault occurred within the hairdressing salon at HMP Greenock. Police Scotland were called to the facility to probe the allegations against Stewart, identifying a grave concern regarding the safety of female inmates housed alongside a convicted killer with a history of extreme violence.
The investigation established that Stewart’s series of behaviours began long before the prison row. In 2013, then known as Alan Baker, he carried out a brutal assault against a father-of-two, John Weir, in Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire. The pair had met on a dating website before Stewart stabbed his victim 16 times in what was described as a “bloodbath.” This identifies a calculated series of violent assaults that led to a life sentence for murder.
GENDER IDENTITY CONTROVERSY AND DISCLOSURE
The court reported that in 2016, it emerged Stewart was living as a woman behind bars despite not having undergone gender reassignment surgery. The investigation established that a significant loophole allowed Stewart’s criminal record to effectively be wiped clean on standard disclosure checks after the name change, meaning the murder conviction did not appear. The prosecution reported that Stewart also claimed to have been “misgendered” by other inmates, such as Jayney Sutherley, who refused to shower at the same time as him, identifying a persistent series of conflicts within the female wing.
Judicial proceedings regarding the harassment of Stewart by other inmates were held at Greenock Sheriff Court, where a case against Jayney Sutherley was found “not proven” in May 2025. For his actions and the nature of the current sexual assault investigation reported, Stewart remains under heavy scrutiny. The investigation established that the safety of the female estate has been called into question, with high-profile figures like JK Rowling highlighting the risks posed by housing violent male-born offenders in women’s jails.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2026, Stewart is managed as a maximum-risk prisoner within the Scottish prison system. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in carrying out a brutal murder and now being accused of a sexual assault in a protected female space—Stewart is a priority for segregation and risk assessment. Authorities reported that the 2026 allegations identify Stewart as an individual who may continue to prioritise his own perverted gratification and violent impulses over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of women.
As a life prisoner, Stewart’s movements are strictly controlled, yet the latest report suggests a failure in the assault prevention protocols at HMP Greenock. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Stewart identifies a series of commitment to extreme violence and predatory conduct. Any proven assault inside the female wing results in immediate isolation and potential criminal charges to ensure the ongoing protection of the female prison population from an individual who used a “gender identity” mask to gain access to vulnerable women.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was able to “wipe his murder conviction” from standard checks by changing his name and identifying as a woman, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Transgender Prisoners” must have their “Original Male Criminal Record” permanently linked to their new identity to prevent a series of assaults against the safety of the public?
