A Pennsylvania
lesbian who toured the country with her tragic story of
being raped as a child and contracting AIDS has been
arrested on fraud charges. Cassey Weierbach, 27, spent
years lecturing at churches, youth groups, and medical
conferences using what authorities say were fabricated
lab records as evidence she had been diagnosed with AIDS.
Weierbach is accused of using the phony results
to defraud Pennsylvania of $66,000 in medical benefits
for the disease from 2003 onward. She also is accused
of giving false information between 2004 and 2005 to at
least three doctors, raising one physician's
suspicions when she refused AIDS medication.
The state launched an investigation after
Allentown's Morning Call newspaper ran a story in
which local pastor Lois Randolph claimed
Weierbach had defrauded her congregation. Weierbach
fired back, telling the paper the pastor was out to
make her life "living hell," asking rhetorically, "Do you
hate me so much because I'm gay that you are willing to
destroy my life?"
Weierbach was arraigned Friday on charges of
theft by deception, forgery, tampering with records,
and making false statements. She was released on
$25,000 bail. (Sirius OutQ News)
