She said she wore a blindfold at all times. She said she didnt know who she was really having sex with.Two former best friends face each other in court at a sex offence trial. Miss X, making the accusation, claims she was tricked into queer sex, many times, by a best friend pretending to be her boyfriend. But that friend, Gayle Newland, tells a different story. They were secret lesbians, she says, lovers in the closet. The boyfriend was imaginary, and part of a role play that had been going on for years.This astonishing case reached UK courtrooms twice in 2015 and 2017, capturing national attention.
