CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado woman accused of plotting with QAnon supporters to kidnap her son from his foster home denied Thursday there was ever a planned raid, saying she ended up meeting backers of the conspiracy theory after reaching out for help on social media to get her son back.
Cynthia Abcug, testifying on the last day of her trial in suburban Denver, said she “feels like a fool” now but was told at the time that the people she had met were working for “systemic changes in the family court system.” After a door at her townhome in Parker was found broken, one of the supporters she met arranged for an armed man to be sent to stay with her, sleeping on a couch with a view of the door, she said.
