Sarah Jane C., 32, of Rhode Island, USA, served valiantly for six years in Iraq and Afghanistan. Due to special leadership qualities, she was even promoted to corporal. But after a major explosion, her life changed abruptly: C. inhaled particulate matter and developed lung cancer.
In recent years, the former elite soldier has repeatedly appeared before an audience and told of her ordeal. The American woman could only afford her treatments thanks to aid.
Now it turns out that none of this is true. The woman has never been in the war, has never had cancer. Your whole story: a lie, as reported by “Mirror”.
The American worked for her life of cheating in a hospital for veterans. There she was able to access patient data with real cancer findings and compile her own medical file.
In addition, the American bought several military medals. C. then shined on her resume with years of service in the Marine Corps, an elite unit in the US military. With this scam, C. managed to swindle almost 280,000 francs. But then she exploded. A foundation scrutinized her file and assessed the case.
Now she has to dig deep into her pouch
To maintain the image of a seriously ill woman, she even went so far as to ask people to kneel before her and tie her shoelaces.
But that’s not all: The 32-year-old has secured a spot in an art aid program, according to testimony from a veteran. This allowed the American to collect another 14,000 francs.
Sentenced to six years in prison
In court, the woman’s lawyer stated that her marriage had broken down. She urgently needed the money. The American was sentenced on Tuesday. “She appropriated the honor, service and sacrifice that true veterans make and exploited the decency and charity of others for her own gain,” prosecutor Zachary Cunha said. The court sentenced her to six years behind bars. In addition, there is the reimbursement of all services obtained through fraud. (lia)
