A British woman has been convicted of sexual assault after a court found she pretended to be a man to have sex with a female friend over a two year period. Gayle Newland says her friend knew the truth all the long The Daily Telegraph says Gayle Newland, 25, disguised her appearance and voice and demanded the other woman put on a blindfold when meeting up. She created the persona 'Kye Fortune' who she said had been in a car accident and suffered a brain tumour and didn't want the woman to see his scars. The pair had sex about 10 times until the complainant ripped off her mask and saw Newland wearing a prosthetic penis. Newland claimed the woman always knew she was pretending to be a man and they engaged in role play while struggling with their sexuality. She said no blindfold was used and she did not strap bandages to her chest and wear a woollen hat and swimsuit, as claimed. The complainant said they spent hundreds of hours together, even sunbathing as she kept her blindfold on, and she thought it was a real relationship - with a man. Newland sat in stunned silence in the dock when the foreman returned the verdicts.
