The 39-year-old claimed she was taken at gunpoint by two Hispanic woman who beat and branded her, though the FBI says she was actually in Costa Mesa with a former boyfriend
Sherri Papini, the Northern California woman accused of faking her own kidnapping was freed on bail Tuesday, and there was a big commotion as she left the Sacramento Courthouse.
After a federal judge granted the 39-year-old Redding woman $120,000 bond, she was ushered out of a Sacramento jail by her family while photographers and reporters crowed around.“She’s in a ton of trouble, and this, to me, is a readily provable case,” said Criminal Defense Lawyer Steve Meister.Meister, a former prosecutor, said he doesn’t expect a federal jury to show sympathy for Papini.
Arrested last Thursday, Papini was charged with lying to federal agents and defrauding the state’s victim compensation fund by $30,000. Investigators said her 2016 story of being taken at gunpoint by two Hispanic women who beat and branded her was a lie. The FBI alleges that Papini was actually in Costa Mesa with her former boyfriend.
“I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if other people were charged in this charade, because there were other people in the know and there were other people involved,” the sheriff said.
