Arrestee: 'I Am a Gay Man Trapped in a Woman's Body'

Buford woman charged with child molestation after alleged lewd interaction with two sisters, ages 10 and 12. The girls' adult brother said the woman may have "thought she was interacting with him."

A Buford woman is facing two counts of child molestation after allegedly climbing into bed with two young girls and simulating an act of sexual intercourse.

Gwinnett County Police were called to a Buford home on April 21 after the mother of the two girls learned of the incident. According to the police report, the woman, identified as Jessica Head, 25, had been to a nightclub with the adult brother of the two girls. The brother said both he and Head had consumed alcohol and returned home around 3:30 a.m. The brother said he went to bed and left Head sleeping on the sofa. The siblings, the report explained, "all slept in the same bed."

At some point during the night, one of the girls, described in the police report as a "very articulate and intelligent" 10-year-old, reportedly awoke to find Head on top of her. According to the child, "Head removed the blanket that was covering her, climbed on top of her (making it difficult for her to leave) and then began a back and forth motion on top of her."

The girl, according to the police, said she thought Head was "trying to have sex with her" given the movement. The girl added that Head reached her hand down and grabbed her outer thigh. She told police she was able to free herself after attempts to wake her brother and sister were futile.

Head then reportedly moved on top of the girl's 12-year-old sister and "began the same motion consistent with sexual intercourse."

"About that time ... the girls' brother woke up. He said when he awoke, he saw Head on top of [the sister]. He said that words were exchanged briefly and he instructed Head to get off his sister," the officer wrote in the report.Β "She ultimately did and went into the living room." Later, during a conversation with the investigating officer, the brother "expressed that he thought it was possible Head thought she was interacting with him."

The mother, who had heard one of the girls scream, reportedly entered the room as Head was getting up from the bed. The mother took the girls into her room and, after realizing what had transpired, called police.

In the report, the officer described Head as "uncooperative and belligerent" throughout most of the encounter. When asked what had happened, Head reportedly replied, "I didn't rape no kids!"

"I thought the response was odd considering I asked a very general question and had not informed her of any of the statements from the victims," the officer wrote.

Head explained she had gone to sleep on the couch and had done nothing else. According to the report, she later admitted having been in the room with the girls, but was just trying to sleep.

At one point during the conversation with the officer, Head reportedly said "I'm a dike" and then, according to the report, added "I am a gay man trapped in a woman's body."

"Head never gave a coherent statement during my encounter with her," the officer noted. The officer further wrote, "I believed the actions alleged were committed by Head to the children in an attempt to arouse herself."

Based on the witness and victim statements, Head was placed under arrest. She was later booked into the jail on two counts of child molestation and, as of April 22, remained jailed. Bond is set at $11,400.
