Colorado Woman Admits Guilt in Fraudulent Psychology Degree Case
April 11, 2025 - 20:09
A Colorado woman has entered a guilty plea regarding her use of a fraudulent psychology degree to secure her state license as a child and family investigator and parental evaluator in child custody cases. The woman, who held a position of significant responsibility in the lives of families and children, was accused of misrepresenting her educational qualifications to gain the trust of the courts and the families she served.
The charges against her included multiple counts of fraud and deception, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the child custody evaluation process. Her actions not only jeopardized the legal outcomes for families but also undermined the credibility of professionals in the field.
As part of her plea agreement, she may face penalties that could include fines and imprisonment. The case has sparked discussions about the need for stricter regulations and oversight in the licensing of professionals who work with vulnerable populations, particularly in sensitive areas such as child custody.
