Woman ‘duped into sex with female friend’

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 says 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 friend, Gayle Newland, 25, who had persuaded her to wear a blindfold throughout their sexual encounters in which a prosthetic was used.
