EVERETT, Wash. - The Snohomish County prosecutor's office has filed a child rape charge against a 30-year-old woman accused of posing as a 17-year-old boy and molesting a teenage girl in Everett.

The woman, Lorelei Josephine Corpuz, is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on the third-degree rape charge.

Papers filed in Everett District Court say Corpuz presented herself as a 17-year-old boy named Mark.
Police told the Everett Herald she befriended 14-year-old girl in 2005 at a shopping mall. The two started dating and the family allowed "Mark" to live with the family as the young girl's boyfriend.
The teen-aged girl was fooled for a year by Corpuz even though they had a sexual relationship.

The girl told a Seattle television station she suspected, but every time she asked, "Mark" got really mad.

The true story came to light after "Mark" was pulled over for a traffic stop on Sunday with the girl in the car.

Sergeant Robert Goetz says the girl was in the car and described the driver as her boyfriend.

The officer recognized the driver from a previous arrest.

Police say the girl and her family were shocked to discover the truth.

Corpuz is in jail in Everett.
