Bridal show scammer pleads guilty
A woman charged in a bridal show scam in Boston, agrees to plead guilty.
Federal prosecutors say Karen Tucker of Pittsburgh admits to defrauding advertisers and exhibitors out of fees for fake bridal shows and magazines.
The shows were advertised in Boston, and other U.S. cities.
Authorities say Tucker and an uncharged co-conspirator posed as representatives of a business known as The Boston 411, which promoted a nonexistent home and bridal show at the Hynes Convention Center in March.
Tucker has agreed to a sentence of between 3 and five years.
