A British mother-of-two has been spared jail after allegedly duping her partner out of over $32,000 after pretending to have terminal cancer, it's been reported.

On Wednesday, March 12, Derby Crown Court in the U.K. heard that Laura McPherson, 35, had lied to her partner, Jon Leonard, about having breast, bowel, colon, ovarian and cervical cancer, telling him she needed money for private treatment between March 2017 and January 2022.

The U.K. outlet stated that McPherson, who admitted fraud, had told Leonard that she'd been receiving treatment on the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS), as well as privately, claiming she needed a mastectomy.

McPherson, who reportedly staged photographs of herself appearing to have life-saving chemotherapy, spent her partner's money on breast-enhancement surgery and weight-loss treatment overseas.

Leonard, who has helped to raise around $51 million through his business Ultra Events for cancer charities through the years, told the court in his victim impact statement, “She has never apologized and never shown any remorse for her actions."

McPherson, of Derby, even lied to her daughter, who was 12 when she first started faking the diagnosis.

"She is a compulsive liar who even convinced her own daughter she was suffering from cancer,” Leonard told the court, according to the Derby Telegraph.

“The school would regularly call me to say she had been crying and upset because she was worried her [mom] would die," Leonard told the court, referencing McPherson's daughter.

Leonard discovered the lies when he dropped his partner off at the Royal Derby Hospital in December 2021 where she was apparently having treatment on her cervix. However, he later found out she'd instead ordered a taxi to the city of Coventry, which is approximately 35 miles from where she was.

Leonard also called the private clinic where she was meant to be having a mastectomy so he could pay the bill, which was around $9,000, but he was told she'd had breast augmentation surgery instead of the cancer treatment.

Officers were called to Wilson Elementary School on March 18 in response to a call from the school principal about a teacher allegedly exposing himself to students.

Once officers arrived on the scene, they were informed by Principal Maliki Wojcicki that three sixth-grade students had come to his office and reported witnessing their teacher urinating into a can during class the previous day, according to an arrest report filed by officers in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Those three students then met with police and said that after hearing what sounded like “falling water” during class, they looked around for the source of the noise and discovered it was coming from the front of the classroom, according to the report.

All three students alleged to police that they then watched as 52-year-old Curt Hinton urinated into a container under his desk, according to the report.

The report also notes that all three of those students claimed they could see Hinton's genitals as he urinated into the container.

Officers then interviewed a fourth student from the class who claimed she, too, witnessed Hinton urinating into a container at his desk, says the report.

Police visited the classroom where the alleged incident took place and noted that the teacher's desk was "not enclosed," meaning it would be possible for the students to have witnessed their teacher urinating in class.

After speaking with the students, police questioned Hinton about the incident.

The educator allegedly admitted to officers that he had been teaching at Wilson Elementary School on March 17 and did, in fact, urinate into a container while in the classroom, according to the report.

Hinton allegedly told police that he needed to urinate but couldn't get in contact with another teacher to cover his classroom because he didn't know any other educators at the school, according to the arrest report.

He allegedly went on to tell police that he decided his best option in that moment was to discreetly urinate into a can — like he did during his time in the military, when he could not move from a location.

Hinton noted, however, that he had covered himself with his hand and did not believe any of the students in the classroom had been able to see, the arrest report alleges.

Police charged Hinton with four counts of indecent exposure. He later appeared before a judge in Maricopa County Superior Court and was given a $10,000 secured appearance bond, according to court records.

Hinton, who is an English Language Development Educator, according to his LinkedIn profile, was placed on administrative leave according to a statement from a school spokesperson.

That statement also noted that the school was cooperating with police and then detailed the bathroom policy for teachers.

"Wilson Elementary School District prioritizes the safety and supervision of students at all times. While there is no specific policy solely addressing teacher restroom use, it is standard practice for teachers to ensure appropriate coverage for their classrooms when they need to step away briefly," the statement reads, in part. "This typically involves coordinating with a neighboring teacher, instructional aide, or school administrator to ensure students remain supervised."

On Monday evening, the school spokesperson said that Hinton had resigned.

A Minnesota man believed someone told him that either he or his roommate “needed to die by midnight.”

Cody Kolstad proceeded to grab a loaded shotgun from an unlocked gun cabinet, walk up to the roommate who was sleeping in bed and blast him in the neck, killing him. Kolstad, 35, on Friday pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2022 death of 41-year-old Brian Daniel Stoeckel.

After he shot Stoeckel at their home in the 100 block of 2nd St SE in Morristown, a town of less than 1,000 people some 60 miles south of Minneapolis, Kolstad called 911 around 12:40 a.m. on May 31, 2022.

He told dispatchers to “just come look,” a probable cause arrest affidavit said. He also said “just get here, please” and “bring the coroner.” When deputies from the Rice County Sheriff’s Office arrived, they found Kolstad facedown in the grass.
