Chapter 14

The civil lawsuit uncovered more money.

Lauren had taken nearly $90,000 total across multiple schemes.

Not all from men.

Some from fake fundraisers.

Emergency rent.

Medical bills.

Travel help.

She had used different women’s photos depending on the story.

Mine was for professional trust.

Priya’s for beauty.

Rachel’s for motherhood.

Elise’s for adventure.

She turned women into costumes.

When Priya heard that phrase, she said, “Use it in court.”

So I did.

At Lauren’s sentencing later, I said:

“She did not only steal money. She turned women into costumes and made us wear her lies.”

The judge looked at Lauren.

Lauren looked down.
