A follow-up to our story here from the Sacramento Bee
A psychologist suspected of faking being sexually assaulted and robbed and falsely reporting the crimes to Sacramento police has been fired from the prison system, according to a spokeswoman.
Laurie Ann Martinez's last day with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was Dec. 22, spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Wednesday.
Thornton said she could not discuss the reasons for the termination because of personnel policy.
Martinez's termination came within a week of an announcement by the California Board of Psychology that her license was suspended in the wake of The Bee's report that she had been arrested and charged with felony criminal conspiracy in connection with an alleged false police report.
According to court documents from Sacramento police and the District Attorney's Office, Martinez, 36, with the help of friend Nicole Snyder, staged a sexual assault and robbery and then dialed 911 in April.
After police began an investigation, a co-worker of Martinez's came forward to say she had talked openly about faking such a crime to persuade her husband to move from their Northgate home to what she thought was a safer neighborhood. Snyder, 33, faces the same charges in the case.
She and Martinez allegedly admitted the scheme after police questioned them about the co-worker's allegations, according to the court documents.
Martinez was a supervising senior psychologist at California State Prison, Sacramento, before her termination.
When allegations of the fake report came to light in May, CDCR officials transferred her to headquarters, where they said she did not have contact with inmates.

Good. Hopefully, she will now be prosecuted too. If Martinez's husband does not divorce her then he risks getting burned himself by his wife should she decide one day to turn on him.
Slate Magazine ran a piece on this case and FRA. It was a good step in the right direction recognizing FRAs as a problem that needs to be addressed and not ignored as feminists want. MRAs would find the piece still unfair in its use of numbers.

Now, if they will just pull her license to practice.
"Now, if they will just pull her license to practice".
In PC pro-feminist unjust America, it would be unsurprising if she goes to work as a sexual-grievance-industry nazi err counselor.

Um, as someone who doesn't like seeing people punished for rape until it's actually been established that they're guilty, I think that someone accused of faking a rape accusation shouldn't be punished until they're found guilty.
Aharon,
Agreed. But at least they did suspend the license, which means that any position she goes to apply for, will see that (if they do a credentials check - which I believe is a requirement for the profession) she is a whack job and she will have an exceptionally difficult time (if not impossible) getting new employment in the field.
HB,
Should the fact that she has admittied the lie be taken in to consideration? It's a hard line to walk. She works as a public official. Should this kind of dishonesty be tolerated? I don't think so. If you are paid by the taxpayers, I think a different (and higher) standard should apply.
But that's me. YMMV.
Many folks in American Quack-ademia don't dare to study the trend of sick, twisted, violent women taking jobs in "Corrections" departments around the country, so they can be serviced by the violent males they crave.
Not unlike the wealthy women of Rome paying the guards big bucks to be let into the bowels of Roman prisons to be serviced by the violent males they crave.
If only this woman had taken gender studies rather than psych then she would have known that police and courts don’t take rape accusations seriously and not bother to make a false allegation.
Thank you for some other informative website. Where else may just I am getting that type of information written in such an ideal way? I've a mission that I am simply now operating on, and I've been at the glance out for such info.
