Report via Telegraph -- A woman who used a plastic penis to dupe her girlfriend into believing she was actually a man has been jailed for six and a half years as the judge told her "sometimes truth is stranger than fiction."
Gayle Newland cried in the dock as she was sent back to jail yesterday for tricking the woman into believing she was a man by making her wear a blindfold when they met and by using a prosthetic penis during 15 sexual encounters.
The 27-year-old created a "disturbingly complex" online persona to achieve her own "bizarre sexual satisfaction" and continued the deception over a two year period.
The Recorder of Manchester, Judge David Stockdale QC, told her she had shown “an extraordinary degree of cunning and a chilling desire" to manipulate and control the lives of others
"It is difficult to conceive of a deceit so degrading or a deceit so damaging to the victim on its discovery," he added.
Newland has been jailed again following a retrial at Manchester Crown Court after a jury convicted her of committing sexual assault by using a prosthetic penis without her victim's consent.
Her victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says she feels she is trapped in a "prison" after what Newland did to her.
"She has created a prison for the joyful persona I once had," she said, I can only hope I can move on fully and not do the time with her."
