The California mom who claimed she was kidnapped, beaten and branded as she was held captive for three weeks will plead guilty to federal charges. After being arrested and charged with lying to federal authorities and mail fraud earlier this year, she had for years maintained that she was the victim of a brutal and puzzling crime. She will plead guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. The California Victim Compensation Board, the Social Security Administration, the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, and the FBI assisted the sheriff's department in its investigation of the hoax. The then-34-year-old apparently disappeared while out for a jog. Three weeks later, in chains, her hair cut short, and her body bruised, she flagged down a driver, claiming she had been released by two armed women who had kidnapped her. The FBI released sketches of two unknown individuals based on details provided by Papini as it continued to investigate. The Department of Justice said last month that her story was a lie. Federal prosecutors said that instead of being held captive, Papini was actually staying at the home of a former boyfriend in Southern California. Papini apologized to her family, friends, and those who worked so hard to try to get her to come forward, as she said she was deeply ashamed of herself. She said she would work the rest of her life to make up for what she had done. Papini was facing 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements to authorities. According to the indictment, many of the mail fraud charges were related to payments Papini made to a therapist who was treating her for post traumatic stress disorder. She will plead guilty to one of those payments. According to Lauren Horwood, a spokeswoman for the US attorney's office, Papini agreed to pay the Social Security Administration $127,567.60 because she was a crime victim. According to the indictment, Papini obtained more than $30,000 from the state's victim compensation board, which she used to pay for new blinds, ambulance costs, and therapy for her alleged anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Papini faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for making false statements and a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for mail fraud, according to the DOJ. According to the plea agreement, the government will recommend that she be sentenced to the low end of the sentencing guidelines determined by the court. The reporting was contributed byClaudia Koerner. Papini will pay more than $300,000 to agencies that she is accused of defrauding through her alleged kidnapping scheme.
