A psychologist who allegedly faked her own rape earlier this
year has lost her job with the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.
Laurie Ann Martinez, a licensed psychologist for the state
prison system who worked at New Folsom Prison, was terminated from her post.
Her last day was Dec. 22, three days after her court appearance.
Her license has also been suspended by the state Board of
Psychology.
The board is seeking to permanently revoke her license.
“The criminal allegations against Ms. Martinez are serious
enough to warrant this action,” said Board Executive Officer Robert Kahane.
“Our mission is to protect consumers, and we think allowing Martinez to
continue to practice poses a threat to consumer health and safety.”
