A woman who posed as a man to dupe her friend into sleeping with her has been found guilty of sexual assault.
Gayle Newland, 25, demanded the other woman wear a blindfold when they met, and used a prosthetic penis while carrying out the assaults.
...
'Kye' initially told her he was not well enough to see her due to being treated for car accident injuries and a brain tumour.
But the pair spoke frequently on the phone, the court heard, and eventually arranged to meet for sex at a hotel on the condition the woman wore a blindfold - because 'Kye' was embarrassed by his scars.
They went on to spend more than 100 hours in each other's company in hotels and the victim's flat, with the assaults taking place between February and June 2013.
The deception was finally uncovered during their final sexual encounter, when the victim removed the blindfold and saw Newland instead of 'Kye'.
She insisted she had always believed Kye had been a man, telling the court: "In hindsight I wish I had ripped that mask off sooner."

how did she not feel her friend's body which is noticeably not what she was expecting
