A popular social media influencer who falsely accused a couple of trying to kidnap her children has been convicted of lying about the whole ordeal.
The Sonoma County DA's office said the videos were posted about a week after Sorensen reported the supposed kidnapping attempt to police. In the videos, Sorenson described a number of details about the alleged incident that hadn't been disclosed to police.
The accused couple, Sadie and Eddie Martinez, said they actually recognized themselves in a photo and came forward to deny Sorensen's claims. "She wanted a stronger following; she was looking for, you know, content for her name and her income, and at our expense," Sadie Martinez said."She misperceived and misunderstood a series of random events, which were occurring around her, and made a honest report to the police on December 7th," Charles Dresow said."I don't think she had any understanding of how this would spread and the impact it would cause," Dresow said.
