Woman who posed as boy got trapped in ‘web of lies’, court hears

Georgie Bilham, who is accused of sexual assault, says woman she had sex with knew she was female

A young woman has told a court she got trapped in a “web of lies” after posing as a boy to meet girls online, but insisted that a woman she had sex with knew she was female.

Georgia Bilham, 21, from Chester, said she created a male alter ego called George as “an escape” from her unhappy life, saying her mum would not have approved of her being in a lesbian relationship.
