Gemma Watts, 21, pleaded guilty in court after posing as a boy named Jake to seduce and assault young girls.
, Watts had used social media platforms such as Facebook, Yubo, Instragram, and Snapchat to target young girls, duping them into"believing they were entering into a relationship with someone whom they could trust," Detective Constable Phillipa Kenwright noted in the statement.
When police looked into"Jake Waton," they discovered the name was an alias, and quickly learned it had been Watts all along. She confessed to grooming the victim while pretending to be a 16-year-old teenager named Jake, and she partially admitted to the assault. Bbefore police could finish their investigation, however, Watts posted bail and was released from prison.Watts continued to groom young girls while out on bail, and was even caught with a missing 15-year-old.
When one girl asked about her breasts, she reportedly called them her"manboobs," and dismissed them as a symptom of once being overweight. A second girl confronted Watts after finding a picture of her wearing female apparel, but Watts told her she had only been experimenting with dressing like a woman. She placed a sock in her shorts to convince the girl that she had a penis.
In one victim's impact statement, a teenage girl said her"heart exploded" when she found out that Jake was a woman.
