Woman who catfished Chris 'Birdman' Andersen sentenced to 18 months in jail

The woman who catfished Chris “Birdman” Andersen and tried to extort him was sentenced recently to 18 months in jail in Canada.

The Denver Post this week published a story about the matter, as the woman who perpetrated the crimes is also awaiting extradition and charges in Colorado.

Shelly Chartier, 33, was found guilty in Canada of orchestrating an elaborate scheme that resulted in Andersen having his home raided in 2012 under suspicion of crimes against a child. The Winnipeg Free Press has a detailed look at Chartier that is worth your time.
