Doulas Amy Winter, top left, and Keeley Ferrell bottom, were watching the sentencing hearing virtually, as Justice Robert Gee sentenced Kaitlyn Braun, 25, of Brantford to two years house arrest, followed y three years of probation and mandatory therapy.
Calling his ruling 'distasteful,' judge gives Ontario woman who scammed doulas 2 years of house arrest | CBC News LoadedA Brantford woman who pleaded guilty after harassing and fraudulently seeking the services of Ontario doulas was sentenced Wednesday to two years of house arrest and three years of probation. The judge says his hands were tied in giving that decision, and recognized the trauma caused to the doulas victimized by Kaitlyn Braun.
"The 21 offences committed by Ms. Braun caused significant long-lasting harm to her victims," Gee said. "I'm really upset. I was with her for nearly a week, and I am disgusted with her lawyer and our Crown attorney," London doula Maighen Stanley told reporters outside court. "I'm not going to let win. I am going to continue to help people and give them the best support I can. I'm not going to let her ruin it for me."More than a dozen doulas who were defrauded by a registered social worker who faked pregnancies to receive services had their day in court to read victim impact statements.
