Woman, 25, who pretended she was a man to dupe female friend into sex is found GUILTY of three counts of sexual assault

A 25-year-old woman who pretended to be a man to trick her female friend into having sex has been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault.

Gayle Newland befriended her victim by posing on Facebook as a man named 'Kye Fortune'.

Newland bound her chest and wore a woolly hat and swimsuit to disguise her appearance, telling the woman 'he' was self-conscious about 'his' appearance after hospital treatment.

Chester Crown Court heard how the victim, also 25, was made to wear a blindfold whenever she was with 'Kye', whom she dated for two years, including on the roughly ten occasions the pair had sex.

The victim said she only discovered 'Kye's' true identity when she ripped off her blindfold during one meeting at her flat in Chester, Cheshire, and saw Newland wearing a prosthetic penis.

She earlier told the court that she was 'sickened' by the revelation and that 'at no time' did she consent to sex with the use of a prosthetic.

Newland, who has identified as a lesbian since primary school, denied the charges and told the court that she and the victim were engaging in role play and fantasy as they struggled to accept their sexuality.

Today Newland was found guilty of committing sexual assaults at the complainant's flat in Chester, but was cleared of similar offences said to have taken place at hotels in the city.

The defendant, from Willaston, Cheshire, sat in stunned silence as the foreman returned the verdicts.

During the trial, Newland admitted she had invented 'Kye' when she was 13 as a way to speak to girls. She later created 'his' Facebook profile, using photos taken from an American man's social media page.

But she said she had explained the fake profile to the defendant, who played along with her online persona.

The complainant spent 'hundreds' of hours talking on the telephone to 'Kye' and the couple, then both students at the University of Chester, spent more than 100 hours in each other's company.

Asked how they spent their time together, the complainant told the court they would sometimes watch a film while she was wearing a blindfold and on one occasion they went sunbathing.

saw this on my newsfeed a few days ago, instantly wondered what is wrong with people these days, it also sparked my curiousity on how the victim was unable to tell that a prosthetic was being used.

The gossipy girls in my IT class wouldnt shut up about this.

Hilariously they tried to make this story believable by saying "In America" before they started and it turned out to be in the UK kek
