When she learned clients of the adoption agency determined they could not care for a Polish child they were set to adopt, she and co-conspirators took steps to transfer the child to relatives who were not eligible for intercountry adoption, the DOJ said.
Cole, Parris, and others agreed to defraud U.S. authorities to conceal their improper transfer of the Polish child, according to the Department of Justice.
Cole is scheduled to be sentenced on May 27 after she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and making a false statement to a Polish authority, the Department of Justice said. The Department of Justice stated Robin Longoria also previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the FCPA and to commit visa fraud and wire fraud in connection with the Ugandan scheme.
