Woman, 40, ‘posed as a man to trick a woman into having s*x with her’

A woman was tricked into having s*x during a two-year relationship with another woman who was pretending to be a man, a court heard.

The victim, who can’t be named for legal reasons, claimed she had ‘sexual intercourse’ twice with the ‘man’ and had even planned to marry ‘him’.

Blade Silvano, 40, has been accused of a ‘sophisticated’ scam by tricking the woman into believing she was male.

Prosecutors said the pair met online in late 2016 when Silvano had posted her status on Plenty of Fish as a ‘man looking for a woman’ and matched with the victim.

They first met in person in December that year and ‘kissed’ before going on to have ‘intercourse’ on two separate occasions, the jury was told.

But Michael Hillman, for the prosecution, said Silvano continued to hide her true identity by using an ‘unknown item’ to penetrate and always kept her t-shirt on and boxers on.

The shocked victim only discovered her ‘lover’s’ true gender through Facebook nearly two years later after they had postponed a planned wedding due to the defendant’s supposed ‘illness’, the trial heard.

Silvano, of Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire, is on trial at Cambridge Crown Court and denies two counts of assault by penetration.

Giving evidence today, the complainant said the defendant had used the name Blade Mendez and told cops she had never consented to having a sexual relationship with a woman.

During cross examination, the alleged victim denied the whole relationship had all been part of a ‘roleplay’ and ‘fantasy’ between them.

She also referred to Silvano throughout her testimony as a ‘he’ and added: ‘I’ve only known Blade as a man.’

The victim denied claims put to her by defence barrister Debra White that she had never met the defendant ‘in the flesh’ and told the court their relationship had felt ‘real’.

But she said she believed Silvano when she told her she was a vet within the British Army and for her that was not a part of her fantasy.

The court heard on one occasion they had been due to go to an ‘officer’s dinner’ together but Silvano pulled out after telling her she had been ‘injured by a cow’.

In fairness, a self-inflicted injury would count here

The trial also heard details of their wedding preparations, which the defence again argued was all part of their roleplay.

Ms White added: ‘During your relationship, you told police there was talk of marriage.

‘You were making arrangements to marry someone that you say you had only seen on a handful of occasions?’

The alleged victim responded: ‘It was Blade that asked me to marry him. Based on him asking me we made arrangements.’

The trial heard she had even gone to try on a wedding dress and sent a photo of it to Silvano.

Last part because this article is too long

The alleged victim said she thought she was having full sexual intercourse with the defendant on a number of occasions – but was always ‘rebuffed’ when she tried to touch ‘his’ genitalia.

During her initial police interview, she said: ‘When we had s*x, Blade would usually blindfold me and I was never allowed to look at the penetration occurring.

‘He would never allow me to go near his genital region and I never saw his peepee.’

Giving evidence today, she ‘clarified’ to the jury he had only blindfolded her once.

The alleged victim said that during sexual contact they used s*x toys that were kept in her bedroom drawer but said this was only ‘in-between us having s*x.’

She said that on one of the occasions they had what she thought was sexual intercourse in February 2017 she was ‘blindfolded’ consensually.

Cross-examining the alleged victim, defence barrister Debra White said: ‘You said to police – I consented to having s*x with s*x toys thinking he was a male.

Fellas, don't you hate getting your peepee touched? #relatable
