Police: Ohio Woman Posed As Boy To Be With Girl

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — 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 Sgt. 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 Marchiny says she admitted the deception. Her lawyer, William Robert Kaufman, says she has not entered a plea but is assumed not guilty.

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 $100,000 bond.
