Cassie Weierbach is a 27 year old physically challenged woman. She was a strong voice for people with aids, traveling across the country to make people aware, that is until Friday, arraigned in court on charges of theft by deception, forgery, tampering with records and making false statements.
The story she tells: She has had HIV/AIDS as she was repeatedly
raped as a child by her best friend's father, both the friend and the father
have since committed suicide. She says she is the spokesperson for AIDS
awareness, that she is too sick to work. Churches and individuals took her
in, paid her bills, paid her rent, bought her food and clothes. The only
problem.....Cassey doesn't have AIDS. The article located both her best
friend, who surprisingly wasn't dead nor had they both been raped by her
father. The orphan Cassey's father was interviewed and declined to support
her because of all the fantasies attached to her 'health issues'. She had
even stated her parents were deceased in order to claim survivors benefits.
She played doctors, she played the system. Not bad for a a 27 year old
girl. She was actually on 'the payroll' for an AIDS support group who
provided speakers around the country.
Recently, everything started to fall apart when
symptoms didn't match medical records, medical records didn't match what she
had told assistance organizations, she played church one off against another church to
see who would give her the most.
In a recent statement she is quoted as saying--“All I’ve ever wanted was to educate people about an illness that I live with every day,” Weierbach says. “I’m at the end of the disease, and I want to use the time I have left to put all I have into this project.”
