LEBANON (Ohio) - AUTHORITIES say an Ohio woman pretended to be a 14-year-old boy so she could have a sexual relationship with a teenage girl. Springboro police Sergeant Bob Marchiny says that 31-year-old Patricia Dye of Franklin used the alias Matt Abrams as the 16-year-old girl's boyfriend, and that the girl did not know Dye was a woman.
Dye was arrested June 30, and Sergeant Marchiny says she admitted the deception. A message seeking comment was left Wednesday for her attorney. Dye is charged with unlawful sexual conduct with and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A Warren County judge sent the case to a grand jury Tuesday. Dye is being held in the Butler County jail on US$100,000 (S$138,000) bond. -- AP
