A man who was convicted of domestic abuse has been allowed into a female domestic abuse hostel, it was reported in April.
Mark Addis, who calls himself Melissa, has been allowed to come and go from the East London Women’s Project because he ‘identifies’ as a woman.
Arrested in November 2013 for issuing death threats to the mother of his child, he spent six months in prison before being issued with a restraining order. Despite this, bosses at homeless charity St Mungo’s have allowed him to make daily visits to one of its women-only hostels.
