Katrice Lee, whose mother Sharon and sister Natasha live in Gosport, went missing from a supermarket in Paderborn, West Germany, in 1981.

Her family were horrified when last year they received a Facebook friend request and messages from someone posing as Katrice.

Merseyside Police say that they have charged Heidi Robinson, 40 from East Way, Moreton, with malicious communication.

Robinson will appear at Wirral Magistrates’ Court on May 1.
