Finally, California super mom Sherri Papini has admitted to faking her own kidnapping and collecting $30K in victim compensation and according to the Daily Mail, she has apologized after claiming she was abducted, abused, and branded during a 22-day ordeal. Sherri has been charged with lying to federal investigators and fraudulently obtaining $3oK from the state’s victim compensation board.
People can do anything illegal just to make some easy money but Sherri’s plan didn’t go as planned via DM;
California mother Sherri Papini, who claimed she was kidnapped in 2016 before suddenly reappearing three weeks later almost 200 miles away from where she was last seen, has signed a plea deal in which she admits that she orchestrated the hoax.
Papini, 39, was finally arrested last month with prosecutors alleging she had made up the entire kidnapping story and had, in fact, been staying with an ex-boyfriend during the period she was believed to be missing.
Papini will now plead guilty to one count of lying to a federal officer and one count of mail fraud with a hearing scheduled for later this week.
‘We are taking this case in an entirely new direction,’ said William Portanova to the Sacramento Bee, a former federal prosecutor, now serving as Papini’s defense attorney. ‘Everything that has happened before today stops today.’
Papini issued a statement through her attorney expressing remorse.
‘I am deeply ashamed of myself for my behavior and so sorry for the pain I’ve caused my family, my friends, all the good people who needlessly suffered because of my story and those who worked so hard to try to help me,’ Papini said in her statement. ‘I will work the rest of my life to make amends for what I have done.’
Papini was accused of lying to authorities during an August 2020 interview. FBI agents warned her in advance that lying to the FBI is a crime.
‘She was presented with evidence that showed she had not been abducted,’ U.S. Attorney Phil Talbert’s office said in a statement announcing the charges.
‘Instead of retracting her kidnapping story, Papini continued to make false statements about her purported abductors.’ Authorities now say that Papini’s disappearance was nothing to do with kidnapping at all but was staying at an ex-boyfriend’s apartment in Costa Mesa.
When the FBI further investigated, items from his home were analyzed for DNA which ultimately matched that collected from Papini’s clothing.
White women I tell ya.
