Judge jailed Newland for eight years and she yelled 'I'm scared' to family

Couple had sex about ten times before victim saw her

A judge has sentenced a former private schoolgirl to eight years in prison for duping another woman into believing she was a man before and having sex with her using a prosthetic penis.

Marketing manager Gayle Newland, 25, screamed 'I'm scared' to her family and had to be dragged to the cells after begging for a suspended sentence.

It has now been revealed that the presiding judge who handed her the lengthy jail term has previously given more lenient sentences to paedophiles - and once handed a teacher who abused 24 boys aged between eight and 13 to just six and a half years in prison.

'FAKE MAN' VICTIM SAYS HER LIFE IS NOW A 'HOPELESS NOTHING' The woman duped by Gayle Newland has described how her life has fallen apart since she discovered she wasn't a man. Matthew Corbett-Jones, prosecuting, read out excerpts from the complainant's victim impact statement before her lover was jailed for eight years. In it she said she had been 'extremely anxious' during and since the court case in which she had to 'bare my soul to 12 strangers and the public gallery'. She spoke of being 'trapped' and not being able to move on despite the outcome of the trial. She said: 'I don't enjoy going out. I think people know it's me. 'Gayle has poisoned my life for four years and I'm now not hopeful for my future. My youth and vitality have been taken. 'Not only have I had to delete all the friends I have made in Chester apart from one I feel like I can't visit that friend or the beautiful city again. 'I still feel trapped in this invisible prison that Gayle has been making'. She said had been forced to move from Chester, was unemployed and had been reduced to a 'hopeless nothing'. Advertisement

The former private schoolgirl persuaded the victim to wear a blindfold when together and they had sex 10 times until the complainant ripped off her mask and saw Newland was wearing a prosthetic penis.

Newland told police her accuser, also 25, always knew she was pretending to be a man and it was part of a sex game as they struggled with being lesbians.

But the 'manipulative' marketing manager from Willaston, Cheshire, was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault.

Jailing her for eight years today today Judge Roger Dutton told her she was guilty of a 'cruel and callous deception'.

He added: 'You are an intelligent, obsessional, highly manipulative, deceitful, scheming and thoroughly determined young woman'.

But Judge Dutton has previously handed more lenient jail terms to paedophiles in his court.

The Mirror reports that in 2010 he jailed Michael Farrell for four years and eight months after he admitted having sex with four 13-year-old girls - one became pregnant, suffered a miscarriage and then attempted suicide.

Last year he jailed a former French teacher who was accused of abusing 24 boys in the 1970s to six years and nine months in prison.

Keith Cavendish-Coulson, 71, preyed on boys aged between eight and 13 at a boarding school.

The victim told the jury 'Kye' asked her to wear a blindfold because he was insecure about his looks after life-saving brain surgery.

They spent more than 100 hours together but she would always cover her eyes when they watched television together and on one occasion when sunbathing 'because I was desperate to be loved', she said.

The judge told Newland: 'To successfully pass off a deception of this complexity was a major undertaking involving dedicated mobile phone lines as well as regular texts from you purporting to be Kye's relatives.

'You pursued this course of conduct over a lengthy period during which you played with her affections, acting entirely for your own sexual satisfaction and choosing to ignore the devastating impact that the eventual discovery of the truth would have on her.'

In a statement read to the court today the victim, who met her former lover on Facebook, said she she had 'poisoned her life' and taken her 'youth and vitality.'

She said: 'Not only have I had to delete all the friends I have made in Chester apart from one I feel like I can't visit that friend or the beautiful city again.'

'Socially I feel trapped. Still living in this invisible prison Gayle has made.'

Newland created a bogus Facebook profile in the name of Kye Fortune and was then said to have taken on the persona of Kye as she mimicked a man to speak many times on the phone with the victim after their first contact in 2011.

When they finally decided to meet up in February 2013, the complainant told the jury that Kye had asked her to wear a blindfold because he was insecure about his looks following supposed life-saving brain surgery.

The complainant told the court: 'Every time I met up with Kye Fortune I either had the mask on already or he would wait outside the door and I would put it on.

'I was so desperate to be loved. It's pathetic, so desperate for love, so desperate.

'We were just lying there, just cuddling, sometimes we would watch films, sometimes we would just talk. It sounds stupid to say but it was a proper relationship, just normal.'

She went on: 'Since the first time I wrote to this person on Facebook, I thought it was a male.

'The first time I agreed to meet this person and agreed to have sex with them, I thought it was a male I told my my friends I was engaged to a guy. I told my work colleagues.'

During their telephone conversations, the complainant said she dismissed her 'boyfriend's' high-pitched voice as a result of his Filipino heritage.

When their relationship became sexual the victim was told 'never' to touch her penis - but her cover was blown when the complainant pulled off her blindfold and saw it was fake.

The prosecution said it was an 'unusual case' set against an 'extraordinary background' in which the defendant targeted the 'naive and vulnerable' complainant - who said she was not gay - in an elaborate deception.

But Newland's legal team argued the complainant's account was simply 'impossible to believe' and that a woman of her sexual experience could not have been tricked into thinking she had had sex with a man.

Newland created the character of Fortune when she was 13 because she found it difficult to speak to girls in real life.

By the age of 15 or 16, she went on to develop a Facebook profile of 'half-Filipino, half-Latino' Fortune by downloading photographs from an American man's Myspace page.

Kye and Newland shared the same birth date, both liked RnB music and 'chick flicks' and had a dog named Gypsy, the court heard.

The jury heard another woman said she had been duped by Newland into believing she was communicating with a man.

She said she added the 'good-looking' Kye as a Facebook friend and an online and phone relationship developed.

The woman suggested to him that they meet up but said he always came up with an excuse before she discovered by chance that Kye was Newland in reality.
