- Rachel Childs, 29, charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault and indecent exposure
- She is accused of hiring a caregiver for her made-up autistic twin sister and then engaging in sexual conduct towards him

A Texas woman has been accused of devising a bizarre plan, in which police say she pretended to be her own non-existent autistic twin sister in order to lure a man into having sex with him.
Rachel Child, 29, of Pearland, was arrested earlier this month on charges of felony burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault and misdemeanor indecent exposure.
According to police, Childs contacted a male caregiver online and hired him to take care of her made-up twin, whom she described as autistic.

The unnamed caretaker was instructed to pick up the twin at Child's residence in Pearland, take her to his own house for the night and bring her back the following morning, reported Houston Chronicle.
Police spokesman Jason Wells said while at the caregiver’s home, Childs, posing as her special-needs twin, engaged in ‘sexually oriented conduct’ towards the man, which raised alarms bells with him.
The caregiver concluded that the woman's behavior was inconsistent with that of a person with autism and decided to look into Childs’ background.
After doing some digging, the man learned that Childs has no siblings and contacted the local police department.
An investigation was launched, which determined that Childs had made up the autistic twin for the purpose of sexual gratification, according to police.
Childs turned herself in on January 3 and was later released on bond.
According to an arrest report, Childs works as a clerk at a Houston law firm specializing in family law and divorce cases.
Police are asking anyone who believes they have been a victim of a similar crime to contact them at 281-997-4151.
