The woman who’s child accused Michael Jackson of abuse in last year’s trial has admitted to welfare fraud.

Her history with welfare was well documented in court as Defence attorney Thomas Mesereau saw to show the jury that Janet Arvizo and her family could not be trusted.

Arvizo has been ordered to repay $8,600 and must perform 150 hours of community service according to Reuters. The welfare fraud charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor if Arvizo completes the community service.
