A woman disguised herself as a boy to date her
friends.
Her name is Gemma Barker, and she made headlines
when she created three male personas to date her 16 year old friends. Even
though they knew her in real life, they didn’t pick up at all that it was her
disguised as a boy. Even the parents of one of the girls was duped.
Gemma, 19 at the time, got in pretty serious
trouble because of it. She was charged with two counts of sexual assault and
one count of fraud. The fraud count was for claiming one of her male personas
assaulted her. She had introduced herself to her friends by making fake
Facebook profiles and contacting them that way.
It worked, but trouble arose when one of the
girls became suspicious that the other girl was dating the same guy. Today, she
is on the Sex Offenders Registry.
