SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sherri Papini, the Redding mother accused of orchestrating an elaborate abduction hoax in 2016 and lying to federal agents about it, was allowed to leave jail on Tuesday.
During a virtual detention hearing Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson agreed with Papini's attorney that she wasn't a flight risk or a threat to the community.
She was released on the promise her family would post a $120,000 bond.
