It's an odd one isn't it? The case illustrates a point I've made a few times here, that so-called sex offences usually criminalise hurting people's feelings.
The victim survivor in this case was perfectly content with what was going on while still ignorant through her own extraordinary efforts to avoid gaining a true and complete picture of the situation. Only after her discovery, in retrospect, was the very same activity suddenly unsatisfactory: because of her different feelings towards it. I'd point out that she's knowingly consented to sex with an unseen partner and must therefore have been aware of the possibility that the partner was other than as described. She's consented to the exact activity that in actual fact happened: penetration by a partner whose identity is unconfirmed.
I agree with honey that some kind of caveat emptor-style responsibility is really required. |

And the more I find out, the more baffling it becomes. I imagined the victim to be someone with learning difficulties, yet she was attending university. AND she was close friends with "her" when she wasn't being "him" .
She was told that the boyfriend was so hideously disfigured that "he" cant be seen, yet "he" travelled to her house? Did she open the door to him wearing a blindfold? It could have been the window cleaner!
But it raises the question... Is someone who is changing sex obliged to tell every partner, for fear of being convicted of a sex crime? |

I dont want to be unsympathetic, but if you have sex with a blindfold on and never look at your partner, isn't it your own stupid fault if he or she is the wrong sex?
It sounds terribly far fetched. I bet they turn it into a film.  |

I think the bimbo who didn't realise her consensual partner for years was a woman needs locking up for life. Clearly dangerously mad. What planet are we living on? Planet Barmy I reckon.
