Woman who targeted 'Bachelor' in pregnancy fraud scheme is 'master of manipulation': Detective
Laura Owens pleaded guilty to charges she defrauded men, including 'Bachelor' Clayton Echard, in a pregnancy scheme. Laura Owens, a 36-year-old woman, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and seven years probation after pleading guilty to two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices and one count each of forgery and perjury for targeting multiple men with false pregnancy claims. The lead detective in the case described Owens as a "master of manipulation," focusing on control over her victims and a desire for notoriety. Clayton Echard, who appeared on "The Bachelorette" and "The Bachelor," was one of the victims. Owens claimed in a 2023 lawsuit that Echard had fathered her twins. If she violates her probation terms, she could be sent to prison for more than 15 years.
