‘Fake psychologist’ treated hundreds of patients in Virginia, deputies say
STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. – Authorities say a woman who posed as a licensed psychologist for more than five years in Stafford County treated hundreds of patients, according to WTVR.
Sharonda L. Avery, 42, was employed as a psychologist at a medical practice in Stafford County since 2012, according to Amanda Vicinanzo with the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.
“Avery has treated hundreds of children and adults,” Vicinanzo said. “She was fired from the medical practice, which is no longer in business.”
Officials said deputies began receiving “numerous complaints” in October of 2018 questioning if Avery was a licensed psychologist after several alleged victims claimed they or their children had been misdiagnosed by Avery.
As a result, detectives said their investigation revealed Avery, who claimed to have two doctorate degrees and a master’s degree, was not a licensed psychologist in Virginia. However, deputies said she never graduated from college.
Accordingly, Avery of Spotsylvania was charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, passing a forged document, perjury and practicing psychology without a license on May 6.
Officials said the perjury charge is related to allegations that Avery, who claimed to be a doctor, testified in Stafford Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in 2017.
Avery is being held without bond at Rappahannock Regional Jail.
Anyone with information that could help investigators is asked to call the Stafford Sheriff’s Office at 540-658-4400.

Internet sensation Grumpy Cat dies at 7
“Some days are grumpier than others…”
One of the most famous felines, Grumpy Cat, has died at the age of 7.
Grumpy, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, died Tuesday after encountering complications from a recent urinary tract infection that “unfortunately became too tough for her to overcome,” according to her official Twitter account.
Grumpy’s family acknowledged that the feline helped millions around the world smile, even during the tough times.
Grumpy Cat was known for her permanently “grumpy” facial expression caused by feline dwarfism and an underbite.
Grumpy Cat became such a cultural phenomenon that she inspired art projects, perfumes, merchandise, Skechers shoes, comics and even a “Grumppuccino” coffee.
She was also the official “spokescat” for Friskies, and appeared on several US TV shows.
Last year, US coffee company Grenade was ordered to pay the Bundesens $710,000 for exceeding an agreement to use her image.
Grumpy Cat had about 1.5 million followers on Twitter, 2.4 million followers on Instagram and over 8 million Facebook followers.

NYPD officer accused of trying to hire hitman to kill ex and a minor
NEW YORK — An NYPD officer has been arrested for allegedly trying to hire a hitman to kill her ex, a source told PIX11 Friday.
Valerie Cincinelli, a 12-year veteran with the department, has been arrested, the source said. It is not clear if the ex is a former boyfriend or her husband.
Police confirmed Friday that a 34-year-old female police officer was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, with the Eastern District of New York prosecuting.
A criminal complaint accused Cincinelli of asking a confidential FBI source to help her hire a hitman to kill her second husband and a minor whose identities weren’t made public.
The officer, who was arrested by the FBI, is currently suspended without pay, police said.
Court papers say the source informed her he knew someone who would do it for $7,000. They say that after a local detective went to her home on Friday with a fake story that her husband had been murdered, the source recorded her cooking up an alibi.
Cincinelli had previously been placed on modified duty for a prior domestic incident, according to the source.
She is part of Police Service Area 9’s Video Interactive Patrol Enhanced Response unit, which does surveillance for the New York City Housing Authority.
Cincinelli was ordered held without bail at hearing federal court on Friday. Her lawyer declined comment.

Doctors fighting Ebola in the Congo are forced to wear disguises to avoid being SHOT by militiamen
Article via DailyMail
- Medics ditching their scrubs and lying about their jobs to avoid conflict in Congo
- Militiamen believe Ebola is a conspiracy against them and are attacking workers
- Death toll 1,161 while infection count shot to 1,760 on Thursday, officials said
‘Our staff has to lie about being doctors in order to treat people,’ Tariq Riebel, emergency response director for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), told The Washington Post.
The Congo is currently facing the second deadliest outbreak of the killer virus ever, with the death toll climbing to 1,161 on Thursday.
The infection count, meanwhile, has shot to 1,760, Congo’s Ministry of Health said.
Armed militiamen believe Ebola is a conspiracy against them and have repeatedly attacked health workers battling the epidemic.
There have been 119 attacks this year against aid workers, with eighty-five being wounded or killed, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
It comes as aid groups warn they could run out of money in weeks.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said that unless it gets more funding it won’t be able to continue providing support to crews burying Ebola victims.
Funerals were a major source of virus transmission during the worst ever Ebola epidemic in 2014-2016.
Each Ebola burial costs the equivalent of £400 for, among other things, the protective gear for workers.
The Congo Ebola epidemic has escalated sharply over the past month.
The health ministry says 20 per cent of all cases since August have been reported in just the last three weeks.
Health experts warn that because of security issues it has been difficult getting into some areas to vaccinate those most at risk.
‘The number of new cases continues to rise, in part due to repeated incidents of violence affecting the ability of response teams to immediately identify and create vaccination rings around all people at risk of contracting Ebola,’ the WHO said in a statement.

Dr. Osman Dar, a global health expert at Chatham House and member of the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh and Public Health England, said the death toll could spiral to rival the 11,310 who were killed in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone five years ago, he said.

The 2014 outbreak in West Africa began when an 18-month-old boy in Guinea got infected by a bat in December 2013, and the illness quickly spread to neighbouring countries.
By the time the World Health Organization released its first situation report in August 2014, more than 3,000 people had been infected and 1,546 killed.
A year later the number of cases had rocketed to 28,073 and 11,290 people had died.
