Also, in response to the original topic: The woman was an idiot. I'm just not sure if she was also a liar. And on the one hand, It seems unfortunate that the guy spent 7 months in jail for this, on the other hand, if she really was stupid enough to buy it, I do feel bad for her. She's a teacher though, so, all jokes aside, she would have to be functionally intelligent (i.e. not so stupid she couldn't do basic self-care/fending for herself).
