Pennsylvania Teacher Faked Brain Tumor Story For Years In Order To Take Sick Time Off From Work

A Pennsylvania teacher has been accused of lying to school officials and students for years about having a brain tumor so she could take time off from work.
Leslie Herneisey, 59, worked as a teacher at Middletown Middle School in Middletown, Pennsylvania. For many years, she claimed to have an inoperable brain tumor. Herneisey took sick days off of work over the years, claiming she was at chemotherapy.

Lack of symptoms made school officials suspicious of her sickness. After investigating, police uncovered the truth that Herneisey had been forging documents claiming that she was sick and that her story was all a lie.
After Herneisey resigned from her teaching job, she admitted she had made the whole story up. She now faces 12 counts of forgery and claims to be battling depression.
Now who is really going to believe she is battling depression? Seems to me she is making that story up also so the judge will have some compassion on her.
I have heard of similar stories like this in the past, but none of those involved a teacher who people trust, respect, and learn from. I hope a couple days off of work watching Oprah or shopping at Walmart was worth ruining the rest of your life.
