Description

Rachel DeLoache Williams ended up in the midst of a high profile court case in the United States. It all centred on Anna Sorokin - someone she had considered to be a close friend but who had conned her out of tens of thousands of dollars. Anna had tricked New York city’s elite into thinking she was a wealthy German heiress, when in fact she was a fraudster with no trust fund at all. Anna was found guilty on a number of charges including grand larceny and Rachel was a key witness in the trial.
