I am a strong believer in falsely obtained consent is not consent. The CPS and the Courts are not tough enough on this point but as you say the law does, in theory, already cover it. I see that as going beyond Catfishing though.

Which is why I said potentially. I do not have the full facts of this case but certainly I have seen cases where there was a deceit used to obtain consent that went beyond the "little white lie"
