GUILTY MO - Kris & Sarah Everson for sextuplet fraud, Grain Valley, 2006

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) -- A suburban Kansas City couple appeared in Jackson County Circuit Court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to stealing by faking the birth of sextuplets to solicit money from friends and neighbors.

Sarah Everson, 45, and Kris Everson, 35, of Grain Valley, each pleaded guilty to one count of felony stealing by deceit. Judge Jeffrey Bushur sentenced them each to four years probation. They were also ordered to repay about $3,661.25 to their victims and perform 40 hours of community service.

Community leaders in Grain Valley said the Eversons came to them in March, saying they had delivered six critically ill babies and needed help. The couple claimed the births were being kept secret by a court order because a family member was out to kill them.

Within days of the story appearing on the front of the local paper here, The Examiner, the couple was barraged by questions from the media and ultimately admitted to reporters and police that the entire thing was a lie. They said they needed the cash.

Only sextuplets? If you are going to claim imaginary multiple babies, go for octuplets.
