Brazilian Woman, 38, Posed as a Child for Over a Year in Emotional and Financial Scam
Brazilian police arrested a 38-year-old woman who allegedly posed as a 12-year-old girl to scam a couple in Joinville for 16 months. The scheme unraveled after a suspicious aunt found online reports of a similar crime by the same woman years earlier. Oliveira admitted lying for financial support but her lawyer has requested a psychiatric evaluation.
