Woman Who Faked Cancer Gets Jail Time

DENVER — A former Gunnison, Colo., woman who claimed she had cancer and raised more than $30,000 from well-intentioned donors has pleaded guilty to carrying out a charitable fraud scheme and will spend more than a month in jail.

Tausha Marsh, 30, must also repay the money people sent to her and send them handwritten apologies.

Marsh graduated from Western State College in Gunnison in May 2004. Soon after, she told a friend she had bone cancer in her tailbone. Then, in 2007, she told the same friend the bone cancer had nearly disappeared, but she had developed cervical cancer.
