A transgender woman has been accused of sexual assault after she 'concealed male genitalia' during a night with a Snapchat date.
Ciara Watkin, 21, spent the night with a man after they exchanged messages on the social media platform.
Paul Reid, prosecuting, told Teesside Crown Court that Watkin performed sex acts on the man after he arrived at a house in Thornaby, north Yorkshire, a number of years ago.
Mr Reid said Watkin pretended to be on a period so that the man would not touch below the defendant's waist.
The prosecutor then told the jury that Watkin later contacted her date to reveal 'a massive secret.' Messages sent between the two were read out to the jury.
