It's no secret that women love to trade up. However, it was the way Laurie Ann Martinez, pictured above tried to do it that got her in trouble with Johnny Law. From FoxNews.com:
"She split her own lip with a pin, scraped her knuckles with sandpaper and had her friend punch her in the face. Investigators say she even ripped open her blouse, then wet her pants to give the appearance she had been knocked unconscious.
But it was all part of what authorities said Friday was an elaborate hoax by the woman to convince her husband she was raped so they could move to a safer neighborhood.
Charges filed by the Sacramento County district attorney allege Laurie Ann Martinez, a prison psychologist, conspired with the friend to create the appearance that she was beaten, robbed and raped by a stranger in April in her Sacramento home.
Martinez, her friend and two co-workers eventually told police the whole thing was a setup to convince Martinez's husband that they needed to move from a blighted, high-crime area three miles north of the state Capitol.
It didn't work. Instead, the couple filed for divorce six weeks after the April 10 incident, according to court records.
"If all you wanted to do is move, there's other ways than staging a burglary and rape," said Sacramento police Sgt. Andrew Pettit. "She went to great lengths to make this appear real."
When women cry rape like this, it gives less credibility to the real victims. There needs to be stronger punishment for women who make false rape accusations. Filing a false police report doesn't cut it. If women went to jail for 5 to 10 years, they would stop doing it. The lengths that some women will go to get what they want is truly out there.
She's a prison psychologist, now she may likely become a prison inmate.
