Transgender social media influencer, 26, strangled girlfriend, set her alight and attacked her with a vodka bottle during four-year campaign of abuse [Video]

A transgender TikTok influencer who was caught strangling her girlfriend during a harrowing four-year campaign of violent and controlling abuse has been jailed. 

Jealous Hollie Hanson, 26, subjected her partner Lauren Hanson to a relentless campaign of physical and emotional torment that left her a ‘broken person’.

Hanson, who has gained tens of thousands of views on TikTok, was caught on camera strangling Lauren for two minutes and threatening to kill her.

Hanson was born female but has applied for a gender recognition certificate since being on remand at HMP New Hall women’s prison, Leeds Crown Court heard.

She now demands to be known as Ryder Hanson and to be referred to with ‘he/him’ and ‘they/them’ pronouns.

Videos posted on TikTok show Hanson saying she needs to ‘learn how to stay quiet sometimes’ and she knows ‘how disrespectful’ she can get when ‘angry and hurt’.

Other videos show Hanson and Lauren putting on a loved up display when they were still together.
