Is it a crime if she was writing fiction in the first place?
I hope not.
Yes, it shows poor character and the network, publishing house, etc. might not want to deal with her any longer but I can’t see charging her with a crime.
Fraud? Hmm....
That old movie “Quiz Show” had a line - something like “Cheating on a game show - isn’t that like plagiarizing from a comic strip?”
She was lying to her company about a fake health condition she said she had. And people she worked with. I am sure she got time off and benefits related to these lies. Thats criminal behavior.
She also lied about health issues of another in her family to work people. She may have gotten benefits from this as well.
