I had no idea my boyfriend was a girl: Teenager duped into dating her friend reveals her heartbreak
Schoolgirl victim of 20-year-old boyfriend impostor Gemma Barker has spoken for the first time about her ordeal.
In March this year Barker was jailed for two-and-a-half years after she dressed as a boy to deceive a string a teenage girls into going on dates with her.
The victims, aged 15 and 16, believed they had found the perfect boyfriends in Connor McCormack and Aaron Lampard - who they believed were their age.
Guildford Crown Court heard how Barker, 20, duped the girls, their parents and police by wearing baggy clothes, hats and speaking in a deeper voice.
Even when one of her alter egos was arrested, it wasn’t until police gave her a male strip search that they realised ‘he’ was in fact a girl.
Aaron and Connor were ‘born’ in 2009 when Barker created fake Facebook profiles with which to lure her teenage friends on dates.
Now the details of Barker’s bizarre deception are to be aired for the first time on Channel Four tonight.
Despite making national headlines onr of Barker’s victims - known as ‘Alice’ - never gave her side of the story when it first broke.
in 2009 Alice - not her real name - came to know Barker, who was two years older, at her school in Middlesex.
She said: 'You just don’t think, when you meet up with someone, do you, like oh that’s my friend dressed up. Jess (one of Barker’s other victims) only came to our school like in Year 10. We were about 15 at the time, 16. I became really good friends with Jess and then we kind of all started mingling together.
'I was always better friends with Gemma, and then, like, Jess only became friends with her, like, after me, so I kind of introduced her to Gemma.
'Because we were young we always used to go on like MSN which is like an instant messenger thing. One day around, we got this like ad like from this guy called Aaron, and I said like, oh hi, who are you? And he told me he was Aaron and that he lived in Epsom.'
'And we were just talking for like a couple months, whatever, and he was like paying me loads of compliments like that I’m so pretty and everything. He always used to be like, ‘hi Babe’, to me.'............
Alice and Aaron began a relationship with Alice agreeing eventually to hand over her innocence to the ‘boy’ she believed she had fallen in love with.
She said: 'When we obviously first had sex, I thought it was normal to like not wanna take your clothes off, and being in complete darkness.
'It’s embarrassing like. It was the first time, like, I didn’t really know what to expect. I don’t think he did either. But he was nice about it. He didn’t hurt me, so...he was nice.
But soon afterwards Alice made a baffling discovery.
She said: “It was just like a normal evening. He was in my brother’s bedroom playing Lego with him, and he asked me to find his keys for him, and he told me they were on the side. But they weren’t, so I just thought, oh I’ll just look in his bag.
'And I just saw this like pink dildo in there, and I just completely freaked out. And when he came in I think he knew something was wrong. My face was just completely white.
'He said that he used it on me once and that was it. I just felt so upset. You don’t expect that to happen like for like your first time.'

And there is a great documentary on this if you can find it.
