Sherri Papini, the Shasta County woman charged with faking her own kidnapping back in 2016, has taken a plea deal.
As part of the plea deal, Papini admitted to making up the kidnapping. She also expressed remorse for her actions.
“I am deeply ashamed of myself for my behavior and so very sorry for the pain I’ve caused my family, my friends, all the good people who needlessly suffered because of my story and those who worked so hard to try to help me. I will work the rest of my life to make amends for what I have done,” Papini said in a statement released by her lawyer Niki N. Serna.
According to the district attorney’s office, the agreement will have Papini plead guilty to a single count of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the false statements charge, and up to 20 years in prison and another $250,000 fine for the mail fraud count. The actual sentence will be determined by the court and will depend on a number of variables, the DA’s office says.An exact date in court has not yet been set for Papini to officially enter her guilty pleas.
