A former stuntwoman-turned-attorney has been charged for her role in an alleged scheme to stage car crashes for insurance payouts.
Vanessa Motta, 43, pleaded not guilty in federal court on Monday and was released on a $25,000 unsecured bond, reported NOLA.com.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office indicted Motta in December for fraud, obstruction of justice and witness tampering in a staged automobile collision scheme throughout the New Orleans area.
Motta and her fiancé, disbarred attorney Sean Alfortish, are accused of knowingly representing those who staged the crashes and pursuing fraudulent insurance claims, according to WWLTV.
The former stuntwoman worked in the entertainment industry for over 18 years, then obtained her law degree in 2015, her website stated.
She worked on blockbuster films such as Jurassic World, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Friday the 13th, according to IMDB.
Motta opened her own law firm in 2017 and has ‘represented numerous clients in cases involving Personal Injury, Car Accidents, Insurance Claims, Property Damage, and more.’
The blockbuster indictment claimed several individuals schemed to intentionally staged automobile collisions with other vehicles in the New Orleans metropolitan area dating back to 2011.
