A woman posed as a man in order to deceive her short-sighted female victim into having a sexual relationship, a court has heard.
Georgia Bilham, 21, is accused of renaming herself “George Parry”, disguising herself in men’s clothing and removing her victim’s glasses whenever they were together, to fool her into believing she was in a genuine heterosexual relationship.
Opening the case for the prosecution, Anna Pope, said: “It is a case about this defendant deceiving someone that she was, in fact, a young man.“And that means, we say, that all the sexual activity that took place between those two people, was based on a false pretence – and so did not involve true consent.”
Posing as George Parry, Ms Bilham claimed to have links with an Albanian crime gang in order to support the deception. Ms Pope said it wasn’t known if Ms Bilham was sexually attracted to the woman or whether she “gained some form of buzz from duping” her.
