Woman Collected Disability Checks, Said She Couldn’t leave Home; And Indeed She Was Exotic Dancing
ATLANTA — An Atlanta woman who pretended to be disabled, but also worked as a stripper, has pleaded guilty to Social Security fraud.
Valencia Williams disclosed to the Social Security Administration that she was disabled and rarely left home, She told the government she had extreme anxiety and depression and couldn’t even leave her room, but the SSA established that it was not true.
She qualified for disability benefits while she was allegedly working at Stroker’s Adult entertainment in DeKalb County under the name Chrissy the Doll.
In 2010, Williams started getting Social Security benefits for major depressive disorder and panic disorder, but later discovered that she got adult entertainer permits from DeKalb County in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.
Prosecutors said Williams stole $60,000 in federal funds that should have been going to people who are actually unable to work.
