I knew that would get your attention.

It's a classic story. Girl meets girl. Girl pretends to be boy. Girl convinces girl to have sex with a blindfold. Girl straps on dildo and goes to town. If we've heard this story once, we've heard it a thousand times.

Gayle Newland found guilty at retrial of tricking female friend into sex

A woman has been found guilty for the second time of tricking a female friend into having sex by pretending to be a man.

Gayle Newland, 27, was initially convicted of three counts of sexual assault at Chester crown court in September 2015, and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

She persuaded the student to wear a blindfold whenever they met, and wore a large strap-on prosthetic penis in order to dupe the woman into having penetrative sex. The jury heard that the complainant not only wore the blindfold during sex but also for at least 100 hours when the pair were just hanging out – going for drives, sunbathing and even “watching” films together.

So this brings ups a couple of interesting questions. Is it rape? She did penetrate the other woman, but the woman had repeatedly given consent and came back for more. It was fraudulent, but so is everything in sexual relationships. A woman wears makeup that makes her look more beautiful. Does that mean she's raping a man because they have sex under the false pretense that her skin is that good? What if a married man pretends to be single. Is that rape? So where exactly is the line that separates non-rapey deception from rapey deception? If a post-op transgender has sex with someone without disclosing his or her CIS gender, is that automatically rape? Finally, regardless of what the law is, what should the law be? What kinds of deceptions should invalidate consent?
