A Nevada woman who admitted faking a pancreatic cancer diagnosis to solicit sympathy and money from friends, family, and supporters has pleaded guilty to felony theft after prosecutors said she scammed more than $20,000 through the deception. The bogus cancer diagnosis was just one strand in the web of lies she built.
In March, Haleigh Morgan Knight entered a guilty plea in Clark County court as part of a deal that could eventually reduce her conviction to a misdemeanor if she completes probation and pays restitution, according to court records and local reports. She is scheduled to be sentenced on June 24, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
