Sherri Papini takes plea deal, admits to fake kidnapping scheme
Sherri Papini, who was arrested and charged in federal court last month for faking her 2016 kidnapping, accepted a plea deal Tuesday and admitted to the scheme, federal prosecutors said.
Papini, 39, went missing in November 2016 after reportedly going for a run in her Mountain Gate neighborhood. Papini’s story began to take on water in 2020, when DNA that was found on Papini’s clothing upon her reappearance was matched to an ex-boyfriend living in Costa Mesa. While there, the ex-boyfriend said, Papini cut her own hair and inflicted injuries on herself, although he participated in at least one incident, hitting her in the leg with a hockey puck.
