Lady looks like a dude 2: gender confusion boogaloo

I'm guessing that this statutory rape case didn't involve...uhhhh...penetration.

A statutory rape case against a 42-year-old charged as a man took on a different look after a jail shower revealed the defendant is actually a woman.

The female victim and several prisoners at the Hamilton County Jail were among those surprised to discover that the person booked in the case as Alexander David Cross is a woman also known as Elaine Ann Cross.

Cross had been in jail awaiting a court appearance Wednesday, where she pleaded guilty to an aggravated statutory rape charge as part of a deal with prosecutors. The charge stems from a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl.

In exchange for the plea, Cross will not serve jail time if she stays out of trouble for six years.

Officials said her gender was revealed when jail authorities directed Cross to take a shower.

"After about 10 days in jail, they figure out Alex Cross is a female," Assistant District Attorney Boyd Patterson said in court.

Let me get this straight. She'd been in the jail—not a place that's normally associated with privacy—for ten days, and nobody noticed that she didn't pee standing up? Well, I'm assuming she didn't, anyway.
