A man who posed as a woman in an online ad, luring victims to his Melbourne apartment to fulfil a "fantasy", has been jailed.
Peter Valsamakis, 42, posted ads on classifieds site Locanto, pretending to be "Michelle" and asking men to arrive at his South Yarra apartment, put on a blindfold and strip naked before taking part in sex acts.
The County Court was told on Tuesday when the clients would contact Valsamakis, he would respond with images of women and female genitalia.
One man, who was fellated while blindfolded, removed the blindfold and said: "You're not Michelle. You're supposed to be a girl."
Another victim, a 26-year-old man, responded to Valsamakis' ad seeking a "toy boy".
When he arrived at Valsamakis' apartment, he was suspicious and did not take off his clothes as planned.
Through his blindfold, he saw that Valsamakis was a man and hit him in the face and took his phone.
Valsamakis contacted the police to lodge a complaint for theft.
Judge Riddell said the victims, mainly young men, had a "sense of violation".
Valsamakis pleaded guilty to charges including indecent assault, procuring sexual penetration by fraud and working as a sex worker while unlicensed.
He was jailed for 18 months, of which he has already served 503 days.
Upon release, Valsamakis will serve a two-year community corrections order and must undergo mental health and drug treatment.

To extend this, I've noticed a few men pretending to be women engaging online and vice versa, of course there's nothing illegal in that but there is a deception at play particularly if you progress to exchanging private messages where personal information is imparted that may otherwise not be if true gender was known.
