A judge has overturned the conviction of a Christian street preacher who was arrested and reported to Prevent for ‘misgendering’ a member of the public.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Dave McConnell, 42, from Wakefield, was appealing a conviction today at Leeds Crown Court after he was arrested under section 4A of the Public Order Act 1986 for ‘insulting’ a member of the public in Leeds City Centre on 8 June 2021.
Convicted for ‘misgendering’
The arrest was made after he ‘misgendered’ a biological male who self-identified as a ‘trans woman’ during a one-on-one conversation with a police officer who was covered in pagan tattoos and an upside-down cross.
