A woman has been accused of posing as a man to sexually assault a teenage girl.
Georgia Bilham told a court "it just took over my life" and it was a "stupid mistake." The 21-year-old is charged with 17 sexual offences after allegedly deceiving a 19-year-old woman by pretending to be a man.
A trial at Chester Crown Court heard that she used the persona George Parry to speak to the teen over social media. When they met in person, Bilham allegedly wore a hood to meet the short-sighted victim, claiming to be "paranoid" because of an involvement with Albanian gang members.
