Gee, ya think?
Georgia Bilham, 21, told the Chester Crown Court that she created a male alter ego named “George” as “an escape” from her unhappy life. She used this to have a relationship with a nearsighted teen.
The prosecutor asked Bilham if she felt that the teen would not be attracted to her as a woman.
“I can’t answer that,” Bilham replied, via the BBC.
Bilhem, disguised as a man, allegedly was able to successfully catfish her 19-year old victim.
“Why didn’t you just say you are a female with a different name?” Pope asked Bilham in court.
“Because I was caught in a web of lies,” Bilham replied.
That said, Bilham denied accusations that she stuffed socks inside her boxer shorts to mimic a penis. She also claimed that the alleged victim knew Belham was actually a woman.
As the couple became intimate, Bilham reportedly would not allow the alleged victim to remove her shorts because her male character was supposedly self-conscious about scars from being stabbed.
In all, Bilham has denied 17 counts, including sexual assault and assault by penetration.
