A woman in her 30s, identified as Amanda Maria Souza de Oliveira, is found guilty of fraud after living with a family in Brazil while pretending to be their child. Prosecutors said she posed as a child and stayed with the family for about 14 months, until the scheme was uncovered.
The outlets describe the same basic conduct and outcome: the woman’s false identity and the duration of her stay with a foster family. Both sources say officials determined she misrepresented her age and role to the household for an extended period. Fox News provides an age for the defendant and specifies the time frame as roughly 14 months, while the New York Post characterizes the period more generally as “more than a year.” The reporting focuses on the conviction and the underlying deception, rather than on details of sentencing or investigative steps.
