Orange County, Fla. -- A transgendered man, arrested for prostitution in Orange County, was booked into the jail as a woman, but his former roommate claims he stole her identity.
Richard Phillips was booked into the Orange County Jail as Brittany Ossenfort. But a woman with that same name, said that's not who he is. According to Sheriff's investigators, he is Richard Phillips.
The Holly Hill woman is outraged, that she's listed, as being arrested for prostitution. The real Brittany Ossenfort said she lived with Richard Phillips for more than a year, but thought he was a woman.
She was shocked to later learn he was actually a man, and even more shocked that he used her name in jail.

Single White Shemale?
I read stories like this and always wonder just how unobservant you have to be in order to live with someone for a year and...geeze!
It’s like the women who don’t realize they’re pregnant until the baby pops out. I don’t get it.
A jail spokesperson said Phillips’ name cannot be changed in the record once he's booked under the name Brittany Ossenfort, but there will be a note in his file of his real name.
Brittany Ossenfort was told she may have to carry papers around with her for years documenting her identity, to prove she wasn't the one arrested for prostitution.
If illegal aliens are permitted to commit identity theft with immunity, why not transexuals?

You brought up the same thing I was thinking about. What is it about the Orange County Sheriff's dept record system that requires they keep his phony name in such a way as to cause years of problems for the victim of the name theft? Seems ludicrous to me.
At least some of them are probably pretending they didn't know. Still others, who knows....
It is impossible to change a person’s gender. Some get mutilated and disfigured, but not changed from one sex to another, no matter how much they wish it.
Yep, just normal people wanting a job like GW’s illegals just here for the work.
GW, yeah, he’s the guy that just sent $196 million of our tax dollars to the Fatah terrorist group. As he said, with us or against us.
