She Framed Me As Unfit So I’ll See Her In Court Chapter 42
Sloan’s criminal case went to court a month later.
She did not livestream again, and she did not cry and say she had only been worried about a child.
The prosecutor laid the two police reports on the table, then introduced the doorbell footage, the school surveillance, and the raw extraction records from Beth’s phone one by one.
Sloan’s lawyer asked for leniency on the ground that she had been under long-term financial control by Caleb.
The prosecutor did not deny it.
“The harm she suffered was real.”
He opened the next volume of the case file.
“The harm suffered by Nia and Maya was real, as well.”
“Her victimization may explain why she feared Caleb. It does not explain why she chose to post another woman’s address, frame a child, and lure a strange man to their front door.”
Sloan kept her head down, her shoulders shaking without pause.
In the end, she admitted to the conduct underlying cyberstalking, endangering a child, and suborning false statements.
The judge sentenced her to imprisonment, along with probation, mandatory psychological intervention, and a long-term no-contact order. During probation, she could not manage school volunteer activities or use third parties to gather information about Maya and me.
After sentencing, she suddenly turned to look at me.
“Nia.”
The bailiff immediately stepped forward.
She did not come closer. Standing several steps away, she said, “I know apologizing now won’t do anything.”
“No. It won’t.”
My answer was calm.
Tears fell from her eyes.
“At the time, I only wanted Caleb to be satisfied. I thought if I took your place, maybe my life would finally get better.”
I looked at her.
“But you chose to make Maya pay for it.”
Sloan closed her eyes, and the bailiff led her away.
I did not forgive her.
Acknowledging that she had once been harmed was returning Caleb’s guilt to Caleb.
Making her answer for the judgment was returning her guilt to herself.
