If this was a hoax from the beginning, then the go fund me would be a crime of fraud. If it was voluntary, and made up a story, just filing a false report.?. I hope they remember to pay taxes on their 50k.
Taxes do not have to be paid on personal gifts like that. They aren;t typically large enough as each donation is usually under a few hundred bucks.
Pardon me as I haven't been able to view all of the thread over the last few hours…. if she was released from the hospital, then she wasn't malnourished or dehydrated?? Did her abductors feed her? Does anyone know?
IMOO.
She must have been as she's alive.
In another news, info on sex trafficking victims in the US:
85% are under the age of 25. Only 10% are in Sherri's age range. Only 22% are white.

She doesn't have the risk factors for sex trafficking either which are:
1. Runaway and homeless youth.
2. Victims of domestic violence.
3. Victims of sexual assault.
4. Victims of war or conflict.
5. Victims of social discrimination.

Abduction for purposes of sexual assault? Ransom? That I can believe. For sex trafficking? Very hard to believe. Unless she was otherwise vulnerable in some way, she is not the demographic that is targeted because they know there will be a whole community, LE and her family and friends intent on finding her and they know that given the chance she would be more likely to escape and finger her captors.
Not logical, IMO.
