Male Impersonator Pleads Guilty To Rape

A woman who disguises herself as a man has pleaded guilty to raping a 15-year-old girl.

Christy Wheatley, 20, has described herself as a man trapped in a woman’s body. She uses the name Christopher Bryan Wheatley.

Wheatley, who has grown an Abe Lincoln-like beard, fooled the 15-year-old into having sex with her several times last year, prosecutors said.

Wheatley used a “strap-on penis impersonation device,” prosecutors said.

She pleaded guilty Tuesday in Franklin County Superior Court.

The victim told Pasco police she didn’t realize Wheatley was using the device until they’d had sex twice.

Wheatley faces up to 3 years in prison at the April 29 sentencing.
