EXCLUSIVE: Trans Activist in Court On Child Sexual Abuse Charges

A trans-identified male residing in England has appeared in court accused of sexually abusing a child. Kizzy Lavender Lee, birth name Samuel Wimbridge, who is the former Operations Lead and Volunteers Coordinator for Newbury Pride, has been charged with attempting to coerce a young girl into sexual abuse and making indecent photographs of a child.

While details of the alleged offenses have not been disclosed at this time by police or the court, Reduxx learned that Wimbridge appeared at Reading Crown Court on September 16. An inquiry into the charges against him found that he has been charged on multiple counts related to a victim under the age of 13. The extensive list of charges include:

  • Attempt to cause/incite a female child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, penetration (2 counts)
  • Adult attempt to engage in sexual communication with a child (4 counts)
  • Make indecent photograph/pseudo-photograph of a child (3 counts)

Reduxx has also learned that Wimbridge was active in the trans rights community in the Newbury area. He was featured as a speaker for the Trans Day of Remembrance by Reading Pride in 2022, and held positions with Newbury Pride that same year, where he was photographed posing with a police officer.

In a video posted by the organization to their YouTube channel, Wimbridge recounts an instance of “transphobia” he allegedly experienced as a transgender “Romani traveller and gypsy.”

While attending the Appleby Horse Fair that year, Wimbridge describes how being his “true self” caused children to bully and victimize him. “I went with my cousin, who is a lesbian,” he says.

After setting up their tent, Wimbridge alleges that “a group of five young Irish traveler children decided it would be fun to come terrorize us.”

“So, terrorize,” he continues. “It’s a big word. The main thing that they were doing was transphobia. It wasn’t the fact that there was [sic] two females together, it was transphobia. The transphobia that I received there was being poked with burning hot sticks, them trying to set my skirt on fire, calling me Dora the Explorer for some unknown reason, along with deciding Michael Jackson was a brilliant insult.”

He continued: “They started putting the burning bits of fire through the tent we were in, trying to set fire to the tent and us inside, while saying, ‘Is it male? Is it female?’ So. Transphobia. Is it good? No. Can it be very dangerous? Definitely. Is it life and death for some people? Most definitely.”

Yet despite repeatedly claiming to be “Romani traveller” and a “gypsy,” a profile created by Wimbridge on an online platform that connects aspiring actors lists his ethnicity as “white / European descent.” According to his page on StarNow, Wimbridge portrayed a traveller as an extra in the E4 drama series “Glue.”

Wimbridge operates multiple social media accounts, some of which he uses under an alternate name derived from the main character of a vampire triology. On various social media accounts via Instagram and TikTok, Lee-Wimbridge refers to himself as Mircalla Karnstein, from an 1872 novella titled Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The female vampire Karnstein is known for her preference for young female victims. In an apparent homage to the novel, Wimbridge had a tattoo emblazoned on his left arm in red ink which reads: “Darling, darling. I live in you and you would die for me. I love you so.”

Wimbridge began claiming to identify as transgender in March, 2022. At the time, he published a statement to his Facebook profile announcing his new chosen name and threatening to block or report any individual who questioned his claim to being a woman.

Reduxx has discovered a disturbing digital footprint belonging to Wimbridge, including a social media profile within an online fetish community where he claimed to be a “trans lesbian” with a sexual interest in “age play.”

Wimbridge maintained a profile on the internet’s leading fetish community, FetLife, where he expressed a sexual interest in humiliation, BDSM, schoolgirl fetishes, redheads, polyamory, age play, and public sexual acts.

He also appears to have named himself after a red-haired female porn actress known as “Kizzy Lee,” of whom videos are featured on FetLife that involve extreme bondage and torture scenarios.

On social media, Wimbridge has documented an alleged relationship he entered with a mother of two young children. By the following year, the mother had begun identifying as transgender herself.

While he has not recently been active on X, a profile picture of Wimbridge dated 2023 depicts him wearing a club jacket for the Newbury & Thatcham Hockey Club, suggesting that he may have taken up women’s league sports there.

Speaking to local press Newbury Today in 2022 about his involvement with organizing his community’s first-ever Pride event, Wimbridge stated: “Newbury has been really supportive. I feel a lot of pride and a lot of relief that it’s actually managed to happen.”
