LESBIAN WHO DUPED WOMAN INTO SEX FOR 2 YEARS WITH FAKE PENIS FACES JAIL She’s guilty of ‘mask’ affair assaults

-

SOBBED: Newland sobbed when the verdict came in A WOMAN faces jail for posing as man on Facebook to befriend a girl and forcing her wear a mask while they had sex.

Gayle Newland wrapped herself in bandages to disguise her female body and used a sex toy as a penis during a two-year relationsh­ip.

The 25-year-old ordered the “naive” victim not to touch her body because treatment for a brain tumour had left her with muscle wastage.

But the girl, also 25, ripped the blindfold off during one romp to reveal Newland using a prosthetic penis. Newland also wore a swimming costume and a woolly hat to complete her disguise.

After hearing the verdicts Newland repeatedly yelled while sobbing: “How can you send me down for something I haven’t done?.”

Newland had posed as an Asian man named Kye Fortune on Facebook and sent a friend’s request to the woman.

They spent hundreds of hours chatting on the phone and Kye explained her voice was similar to Newland’s as they grew up together. But Newland also met the victim in person, claiming to be Kye’s close girl pal.

After a year, Kye agreed to meet the woman – but only if she wore a blindfold and a scarf. At the victim’s flat they had sex together around 10 times using the false penis.

The woman was happy to follow Kye’s rules because it meant they could be finally meet and have a “normal” relationsh­ip. But the woman had to keep her eyes covered while they ate and watched films together.

When they went out in the car, she wore sunglasses over the mask to stop motorists thinking that she had been kidnapped.

The victim told Chester crown court: “Every time I met up with Kye Fortune I either had the mask on already or he’d wait outside the door and I would put it on.

“I was so desperate to be loved. It’s pathetic, so desperate for love. We were just lying there, cuddling. Sometimes we’d watch films, sometimes we’d just talk.

“It sounds stupid to say but it was a proper relationsh­ip, just normal.”

She went on: “Since the first time I wrote to this person on Facebook, I thought it was a male. The first time I agreed to meet this person and agreed to have sex with them, I thought it was a male

“I told my friends I was engaged to a guy. I told my work colleagues.”

The woman said: “I don’t understand why she decided to ruin my life. It was the fact that it was a girl.
