Woman who faked sextuplets jailed
A woman who faked the birth of sextuplets to tap the generosity of neighbours has been sentenced to four years in prison for violating her probation.
Sarah Everson (aged 47) and her husband, Kris (aged 35) were living in the Kansas City suburb of Grain Valley, in March 2006 when they made up the story.
Within days of the story appearing on the front of a newspaper, the couple acknowledged to reporters and police that it was a lie, saying they needed cash.
They were sentenced in August 2006 to four years of probation after each pleaded guilty to felony stealing by deceit. They were required to pay restitution of $3,500 (€2,367) and perform community service.
Warrants were issued however after they failed to pay restitution and missed several probation violation hearings.
The whereabouts of Sarah Everson were unknown when her husband was sentenced last month to three years in prison.
She was arrested a week later in Independence, Missouri on outstanding warrants.
