A woman has been convicted of impersonating a man over two years to dupe her friend into having sex.
Gayle Newland, 25, disguised her appearance and voice as she demanded the other woman put on a blindfold when meeting up, a court heard.
The pair had sex about 10 times until the complainant ripped off her mask and in disbelief saw Newland wearing a prosthetic
She said no blindfold was used and she did not strap bandages to her chest and wear a woollen hat and swimsuit.
She told the jury that the couple were acting out a “sexual fantasy”.
Newland, who denied deliberately hiding behind her alter ego Kye Fortune, insisted they were both aware of the truth.
She was found guilty of a specimen count relating to multiple sexual assaults, and two specific sex assaults on June 30, 2013.
ewland was cleared of sexual assault at a hotel in February and a further charge relating to an alleged sexual assault in March.
The court had heard that Newland put a woolly hat on, claimed she was hiding her body because she had a tumour and embarrassing muscle wastage, and explained away her high-pitched voice by saying she was half-Filipino and half-Asian.
It was alleged that she was caught out when her partner ripped off her mask to see the woman standing over her using the sex toy.
But Newland told the jury: “She knew from the get go, from the beginning that Kye was a girl.
“My main reason why I spoke as Kye was for her.
