I think this is probably fake news. The web-page is very crude, and most of the images are low-rez.

So I did a google search on the woman named, and she appears to be real (or at least someone by that name exists) but no other news site is reporting that she was convicted of a crime.

A Luzerne woman accused of concocting a story with her boyfriend to win a custody dispute by having a 6-year-old girl lie about being sexually abused was convicted at trial Thursday.

After about two hours of deliberations, a jury convicted Michelle McGrath-Fenstermacher, 42, of 597 Bennett St., of corruption of minors, conspiring to make a false child abuse report and making a false report.

Kingston police began investigating after Craig Joseph Hardik, 44, of Forty Fort, and McGrath-Fenstermacher brought the girl to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Twp. to be examined for signs of sexual assault on Nov. 16, 2016.

Hardik reported that he had been at a pizza restaurant when McGrath-Fenstermacher — a married woman he had been staying with — informed him that his daughter had something to say. Despite claiming not to know what was about to happen, Hardik began recording as his daughter described being molested, the charges alleged.

During a subsequent interview with Luzerne County Children and Youth caseworkers, the girl admitted that she had been told to lie and did so because she wanted to live with her father and McGrath-Fenstermacher.

Confronted with the conflicting evidence, Hardik subsequently admitted the allegations were a lie he and McGrath-Fenstermacher came up with so he could get custody of his daughter, prosecutors said. At first they didn’t know exactly what the story would be, just that it would ensure he got custody, he told police.

McGrath-Fenstermacher, who Hardik met at a bus stop, got involved because she wanted another child but was unable to have one, so she decided to take on the role of the girl’s mother, according to prosecutors.

Following a three-day trial during which Hardik testified against his former paramour, a jury on Thursday found McGrath-Fenstermacher guilty on all counts.

They're finally locking up Mia Farrow, then?

Good she was found guilty but what kind of sentence will she get?

Christ, that poor mother. I am very glad this case was decided properly. Of course the fact that the victim was the mother helped, but the precedent this sets will help a lot of fathers too.
