US EditionA Prison Sentence for Simulating Pregnancy
- Kaitlyn Braun, a 26-year-old from Brantford, was handed a prison sentence this week at a Hamilton courthouse for deceiving doulas by pretending to be pregnant.
- She was taken into custody in March 2023 after pretending to have been pregnant and experienced stillbirths over a period from mid-2022 to early 2023 in order to fraudulently access doula support.
- In December 2023, Braun admitted guilt to 21 offenses such as fraud, indecent acts, false pretenses, and mischief. In February 2024, the court imposed a sentence requiring Braun to serve two years confined to her home, followed by a probation period lasting three years.
- After breaching her conditional sentence with new offences, Braun pleaded guilty in January to obtaining services by false pretence and harassment charges and will serve three years and eight months incarcerated.
- The judge described Braun as a continuing threat needing therapy in prison, while doulas expressed concern she might reoffend despite treatment efforts.
