Her ex-boyfriend, a former U.S. Marshal, falsely accused her of a lurid crime that landed her in jail. But last week, he was convicted of framing her as part of a twisted plot to get her to walk away from a condo they purchased together.
Michelle Hadley in Fullerton, Calif., on Jan. 9, 2017, after she was cleared of all charges in a plot to frame her.ByMichelle Hadley was a 29-year-old graduate student living in California when her ex-boyfriend falsely accused her of a lurid crime. By the time the case unraveled in early 2017, she had lost her job, her reputation and her faith in law enforcement.
“I am so grateful to the [Justice Department Office of Inspector General] for the work they put into this case and to the jury for a conviction that has brought so much peace to my family and restored some of the faith we lost in the justice system as a result of Diaz’s crimes against me,” Hadley said in a statement to NBC News.
The plot worked: Diaz and his wife staged “one or more hoax sexual assaults,” and then contacted police to report that Hadley was responsible for hiring the men, prosecutors say. Hadley was arrested by Anaheim police a week and a half later, after Diaz’s wife called 911 to report that she had been sexually assaulted and that Hadley was responsible for setting it up, the indictment says.
