[edit] Information

The Girl Who Became Three Boys Twenty-one-year-old Gemma Barker from Staines is currently serving 30 months in prison for fraud and sexual assault. Over the course of several months Gemma invented and impersonated three different boys, 'Aaron', 'Luke' and 'Connor' and under these three separate guises went on to seduce two teenage girls. This film tells the extraordinary and chilling story through the personal accounts of Gemma's victims. Aaron, Luke and Connor each had their own Facebook page, email address and mobile phone number, and through emotional manipulation, both as their friend Gemma and as the three 'boys', Gemma was able to create a complex set of identities and relationships in order to get close to 18-year-olds Jessica Sayers and 'Alice', who speak frankly about their experiences. The Girl Who Became Three Boys also explores Gemma Barker's possible motivations for her bizarre, criminal behaviour. This is a story of deception, abuse and the damaging consequences of misusing modern social networking on the lives of two innocent teenage girls.
