Woman who pretended she was a man to dupe female friend into sex is found guilty of sexual assault

Gayle Newland befriended her victim, a fellow student at the University of Chester, 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. Today Newland, from Willaston, Cheshire, was convicted of three counts of sexual assault. She was cleared of two other counts of sexual assault.
