This went on for months, with Newland meeting up with Doe as her friend and talking to the woman as Fortune online. Doe eventually wanted to meet up with Fortune in person, and wondered why she couldn't. In character as Fortune, Newland said Fortune had gotten in an accident that left him badly disfigured, which he was embarrassed by, but eventually agreed to meet Doe in person. Newland allegedly wore a disguise to conceal her true identity, and made Doe wear a blindfold when they hung out. When they had sex, Newland wore a strap-on dildo. Newland told Doe that she had to wear medically necessary bandages on her chest and a hat to hide scarring on her head.
