\n

Former “Bachelor” star Clayton Echard<\/strong><\/a> is finally getting some vindication … because the woman who falsely claimed she was pregnant with his twins has pleaded guilty to fraud.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Laura Owens<\/strong> pleaded guilty Friday to four felonies tied to fake pregnancy claims involving Echard and another man, according to The Arizona Republic<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Owens admitted to two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, one count of perjury and one count of taking another person’s identity.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

The saga began in 2023, when Owens claimed Echard got her pregnant with twins and filed a paternity case seeking child support.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Clayton denied he was the father … and Owens later said she’d suffered a miscarriage.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

But the case didn’t end there … a judge later found Owens repeatedly lied during the proceedings and referred the matter to prosecutors … who accused her of fabricating evidence to back up her pregnancy claims.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Prosecutors say Clayton wasn’t her only alleged target … claiming Owens made similar false pregnancy claims involving another man she dated in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Owens was ultimately hit with 14 felony charges … but under her plea deal, prosecutors agreed to dismiss the remaining 10.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

She could still wind up behind bars … one fraud count leaves sentencing up to the judge, while the other three call for probation.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Owens is scheduled to be sentenced October 23.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
