Ohio Police say Patricia Dye “looks just like a boy” and in fact it was her impersonation of a 14-year-old boy in order to seduce a teenage girl she had a crush on which led to her arrest.
Patricia Dye, 31, is accused of dressing like a boy and using the alias Matt Abrams in order to have a relationship with a teenage girl, the New York Daily News reports.
Police began an investigation after a 16-year-old girl fled from a hotel when she discovered that Dye was really a woman - and not the teenage boy she appeared to be.
Dye is charged with unlawful sexual conduct with and contributing to the delinquency of a minor and importuning.
Dye entered a not guilty plea and is being held on $100,000 bond.
