Transgender paedo jailed for raping boys and girls is caught trying to develop indecent images of one of her victims after being released
The vile paedo had been caged for eight years for a string of sickening sex attacks on children
A TRANSGENDER paedophile caged for raping youngsters was caught out again while trying to develop indecent images after being freed.
Nicola Florida was locked up for eight years for a string of sickening sex assaults on children.
The 50-year-old carried out the attacks on young boys and girls while she was living as a man called Ross Florida.
The vile amateur photographer was banned from possessing a camera and having or taking photographs of under 16s.
But she disregarded the order after being released last year and took strips of negatives into a photo shop to developed into larger 16" x 4" prints.
The sick paedo was caught out after an uncomfortable shop assistant saw the photos, which Florida wanted developed into large 16x4 prints, showing a naked girl aged around ten.
Officers searched Florida's Somerset home and found three cameras and more photos of the girl, who was one of the victims she had been previously jailed over.

Prosecutor Emma Lenanton said: "There should be no misunderstanding of the order that was imposed for very serious offences and there should be no doubt how important it was to adhere to those prohibitions.
"Also, the number of cameras found, and the fact that she was wanting to print the photos, is particularly serious."
Somerset Magistrates at Yeovil heard Florida was convicted in November 2007 of rape of a boy under 16, one under 13, and raping a girl under 16.
She was also convicted of three indecent assaults of a male under 14, gross indecency with a male under 16, indecent assault of female under 14, and two counts of taking indecent photos of children.
The paedo claimed she had found innocent photos in a wallet and thought the negatives were of similar snaps, the court heard.
Florida, who changed her name in prison, had two appointments this month at a gender identity clinic in London and was hoping to start hormones to achieve gender reassignment.
Nigel Yeo, defending, said: "She didn't look at the negatives in great details as if she had, it was highly unlikely she would have taken them to a photographic shop and given them her name and address."
She admitted to breaching the Sexual Offences Prevention Order.
Magistrates said the offence was so serious she had to go to Taunton Crown Court to be sentenced.
They adjourned the case until next month and released Florida on unconditional bail.
