"Folks in central Texas dont like being played for boobs especially by a woman who claimed to have breast cancer when all she really had was a chest that was flatter than she wanted it to be.

In August, more than 100 people showed up at Wacos Hog Creek Icehouse Saloon to participate in an all-day benefit organized to raise funds for 24-year-old Trista Joy Lathern, who told everybody that, not having health coverage she needed the money to treat her breast cancer. According to the McLennan County Sheriffs Office, it was later discovered that Lathern never had breast cancer.

But after collecting an estimated $10,000 at the benefit, she did show up with a new, $6,800 set of breasts."

heres a link to the video: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/33907221#33907221

Should she be charged with fraud? what should be done?

Of course she should be chared with fraud. And give back the money raised. And if at all possible, take out the implants and force her back to how she was until she pays for it herself.

 i think it is possible to take out the implants but that would just cost more money...

That's pretty terrible. She should definitely be charged with fraud and have to repay all the money she took from the good-hearted people that were just trying to help her out.

Its really depressing that this woman would fraud these people into buying her a new set of boobs. She should be caused with fraud. or sent to alaska. I heard that implants will freeze if they are in below 30 degrees.

Yes but in the end she was caught. I hope they make her pay back the money and she gets big time community service
