Laurie Ann Martinez, a prison psychologist with the California Department of Corrections, was charged Friday with faking her own rape in order to convince her husband they needed to move.

Martinez conspired with a friend to create the appearance that she was beaten, robbed and raped in her Sacramento home in April, according to conspiracy charges filed by the Sacramento County district attorney.

Investigators say she split her own lip with a pin, scraped her knuckles with sandpaper and had her friend punch her in the face with boxing gloves they bought for that purpose. She ripped open her blouse to expose her breasts, wet her pants to give the appearance she had been knocked unconscious, and was crying hysterically when police arrived, according to court papers.

"If all you wanted to do is move, there's other ways than staging a burglary and rape," said Sacramento police Sgt. Andrew Pettit. "She went to great lengths to make this appear real."

Bada-boom, bada-bing.

Okay, so what is this? A woman, a man in drag, a rolled pork roast?

[PzLdr]

Looks like she’ll be moving after all.

It appears that someone already threw the book at her. The book in question being the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary.

This cannot possibly be true. No women would ever lie about such a thing. Ever.

Really well-thought out attempt at fraud(not). What did she think would happen when they took her to the hospital and ran a rape kit?.

This rises to the level of sophistication of Crystal Mangum or Tawana Brawley.

Martinez conspired with a friend to create the appearance that she was beaten...

From the photo, I would guess she was beaten with an "ugly stick."

[La Enchiladita]

Right on. The eyes and eyebrows are masculine, hmmmm....
I’ll add another question: Does this look like someone you want to tell your troubles and innermost secrets to?
Ackkkkk.....

I wouldn’t share the time of day with her, let alone my innermost thoughts. The eyes scream, “Hi, I am the kind of chick who’d cut you in your sleep for leaving the toilet seat up.”
