A 31-year-old Ohio woman who impersonated a 14-year-old boy in order to have sex with a teenage girl has been sent to jail after pleading guilty to a misdemeanour charge.
Patricia Dye of Franklin, Ohio, went by the alias “Matt Abrams” when pursuing the young girl.
A petite woman under 1.5m tall, Dye made her boyish look more believable when she cut her hair into a short, androgynous style, media reports said.
Police started an investigation after the teenage girl fled from a hotel when she discovered that Dye was really a woman – and not the teenage boy she appeared to be.
The girl had run away from home to be with Dye.
“They were boyfriend-girlfriend,” reported Sgt. Bob Marchiny to the Dayton Daily News. “(Dye) looks just like a boy.”
Dye admitted to posing as a boy after her arrest.
Dye had no prior criminal record. She was sentenced to six months in jail.
This is wrong on so many levels. How can you expect to have any type of relationship, be it short-term or long-term when you were lying from the get go?
