(TW; Sexual Abuse; Rapist)

I was very recently forwarded a news article concerning a person who has been convicted of various sexual offences against children, and it has came to my attention that this individual may have been targeting the #ActuallyAutistic community

The person’s name is Tom Graham. He used a couple of different Twitter account names, but the most common was this one, @serverusautismo

In December 2020, Thomas Graham was returned to prison after breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, (SOPO). He was in prison after being convicted of rape in 2011, and previously was jailed in 2003 for taking and distributing indecent images.

When he was on Twitter, Graham frequently tried to ascertain the ages of individuals on Twitter, and given what has come to light, this is now extremely worrying as I believe he was searching for individuals to groom.

I believe he specifically targeted Autistic People because he believed we were more vulnerable to his advances for a variety of reasons.
