A woman who accused former Bachelor star Clayton Echard of impregnating her has been indicted in Arizona on a slew of felony fraud charges after investigators found that her claims were not true and that she had gone to extreme lengths to manipulate him.
Laura Owens, 34, had originally filed a paternity suit against Echard in 2023, seeking child support, alleging that she had become pregnant with twins, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said in a news release on Tuesday.
