Later, police confirmed to The Sun that Brittany had been charged with “fraud by false representation.” In July 2020, she was convicted in court, given a 12-month conditional discharge, and told to pay compensation and costs.When People reached out, Brittany Miller said she lied because she was deeply depressed, had lost her job, and felt her life was falling apart. She said, “I was suicidal. I didn’t know what to do. I told one lie, and then it grew.” She added that she didn’t spend any of the money and closed the fundraiser when she saw donations coming in.Now, Brittany Miller says she wants to take responsibility for what she did.
