TRANS paedo Andrew Miller has been put under protection in jail, we can reveal.
Prison bosses moved the sex fiend, 53, after a plot emerged to attack him.
He had enraged inmates at HMP Edinburgh by assuring them he had not abducted and abused an 11-year-old girl — before admitting his vile crimes in court.
A source said: “Inmates started terrorising him, calling him a monster, so the warders put him on ‘Rule 100’.
“It means that the only time he is allowed out of his cell is when all the other prisoners are locked up.

“Miller has been moved into the sex offenders’ section for his own protection.
“Apparently he started crying when he was told.
“There’s a rumour that he may now be sent to HMP Dumfries, a kind of protection jail. But they can’t keep him here — he would get done.”
We told how Miller, who also calls himself Amy George, offered the schoolgirl a lift home in his car in Galashiels, Selkirkshire, in February — while he was dressed as a woman.
But he drove her to his house in nearby Melrose, where he owned a family butcher’s shop. And the monster then locked the child in his bedroom before sexually abusing her.
He pled guilty this month to four charges at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Sentence has been deferred until August.
The court heard Miller is in the process of transitioning from a man to a woman.
A Scottish Prison Service spokesman said it does not comment on individuals but added: “We take a zero tolerance approach to violence.
“Any intelligence that suggests violence may occur is investigated.”
