In December, Kaitlyn Braun, 25, pleaded guilty to 21 charges including fraud, mischief and committing indecent acts. Court heard Braun faked being pregnant to obtain care under false pretences, often pretending to be carrying and delivering a stillborn.

In February, she was sentenced to two years of house arrest and three years of probation.
