Woman has blindfolded sex with 'male cancer patient ashamed of
scars' - before discovering it is female friend using prosthetic
penis, court hears.
A woman told police of her disbelief when she discovered that
her "boyfriend" of two years was a female friend, a jury has
heard.
The complainant said she thought she was having sex with a man
called Kye Fortune, who was recovering from a brain tumour and
did not want her to see his scars.
But she claims she eventually discovered it was in fact her 25-
year-old friend Gayle Newland, who had persuaded her to wear a
blindfold throughout their sexual encounters in which a
prosthetic was used.
Newland, of Willaston, Cheshire, is on trial at Chester Crown
Court where she denies five counts of sexual assault between
February and June 2013.
The court heard the alleged victim received a Facebook friend
request in 2011 from a Kye Fortune who purported to be a half-
Filipino, half-Latino young man.
They communicated online and "Kye" later told her he had been
involved in a car accident before medics found he had a brain
tumour.
He was having treatment in hospital and was not well enough to
see her, the complainant told police in a video interview.
But the pair spoke frequently on the phone where the complainant
described Kye's voice as "high-pitched".
The complainant told the interviewing officer: "He was saying
how much I had helped him get through his illness. (He said) it
was a sign, we should get married, we should have kids, we were
going to do all sorts of things."
During this time, the complainant said she met Newland - who
became a "really good friend" and said she knew Kye. Eventually,
the complainant and Kye decided to finally meet in person at a
Chester hotel, the jury heard.
She told police the only stipulation that Kye made was that she
wear a blindfold because he was "anxious about the way he
looked" and "could not walk properly" due to nerve and muscle
damage.
The woman said "Kye" was in the bathroom when she entered the
hotel room and the bed was covered with rose petals and Hello
Kitty bears.
The complainant said she put on the blindfold of a sleeping mask
and scarf and that a "shaking Kye" came in and said he had
signed himself out of a private hospital in Manchester.
The pair then had sex, she alleges, in which Newland is alleged
to have used a prosthetic penis before "Kye" said he had to
return to hospital.
Further hotel visits followed where she said sex took place
again before "Kye" visited her flat and finally uncovered the
truth, the court heard.
Describing what she said was their last sexual encounter before
she went to the police, she said: "When I was having sex I
grabbed for the back of his head and my hand got caught on
something. It did not feel right.
"I was sat on the bed, he was standing up. Something in my mind
said 'pull it (the blindfold) off, pull it off'. I just pulled
it off. Gayle was just standing there... I just couldn't believe
it, I couldn't believe it. Straight away she held her hand down
over her face and said 'it's not what you think'."
The trial continues.
