A 19-year-old girl lived a double life dressed as a boy in order to date her own girlfriends to whom she was sexually attracted.
Gemma Barker wore boy's clothes and gave herself false identities so she could have sexual encounters with her 15 and 16-year-old victims.
'Manipulative' Barker incredibly completely fooled her friends and their families by posing as three different teenage boys.
It was only when - in the guise of one of her alter egos Aaron Lampard - she was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and her clothes were removed in the cells that police discovered her true identity.
Barker's two victims were completely taken in and had sexual encounters with the person they variously believed was Lampard, Connor McCormack or Luke Jones.
Barker,from Staines, Middlesex, now faces jail after admitting two counts of sexual assault and one of fraud by tricking the girls into relationships.
Prosecutors at Guildford Crown Court told how she reinforced her deception by setting up Facebook profiles for her different personas and even had individual dress styles for them.
She wore different hats, hoodies and other baggy clothing to mask her identity, walking and talking like a boy.
Judge Peter Moss told Barker he could not be sure whether she was 'bad and dangerous to know or mad and dangerous to know'.
Barker's disguise was so convincing that when one of the victims removed a sleeping 'Connor’s' hat following a petting session, she was shocked to discover it was her best friend’s boyfriend 'Aaron' she had been kissing.
Even at that point she did not realise the boy was actually a female friend.

When the net was closing in, Barker deliberately fractured her jaw and tried to blame her 'Luke Jones' alter-ego for attacking her and forcing her to pose as 'Aaron'.
She even tried to claim compensation for her injuries.
