Birdman Chris Andersen Victim Of Double Catfish Hoax By Canadian Woman

Former Denver Nuggets player Chris Andersen was the victim of a wide-ranging and complex Internet impersonation scheme when authorities searched his home last year, an attorney for Andersen said Wednesday.

The Douglas County District Attorney’s office on Wednesday confirmed that it will not file charges against Andersen in connection with the search.

Mark Bryant, the attorney, said Andersen was being impersonated online by a woman in Canada. The woman, posing as Andersen, sought relationships and gifts but also threatened at least one person, Bryant said. The woman in Canada was also posing online as other people to Andersen, Bryant said.

Bryant said the woman, whose name he would not release, has been charged in Canada with multiple crimes. She has not yet been charged in Colorado but could be.

“It is my understanding that this case involves numerous victims,” Bryant said. “… Chris was a victim in this case.”

The revelation appears to settle questions about why authorities from the Douglas County Sheriff’s office’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit searched Andersen’s home last year. Andersen was not charged with a crime, and Bryant stated emphatically Wednesday that “there was no crime committed in Colorado.”

Soooo, where WAS a crime committed???

A spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba confirmed that a woman from a small town in the province had been charged in a case that was jointly investigated by the RCMP and the Douglas County Sheriff’s office.

Shelly Lynn Chartier, 29, has been charged with crimes of possession and transmitting of child freak flicks, personation, extortion and making threats, RCMP Sgt. Line Karpish said. Karpish said Chartier lives in Easterville, Manitoba, a town of fewer than 100 residents on the shores of Cedar Lake nearly 300 miles north of Winnipeg. Chartier was charged in January and is scheduled to make a court appearance in October, Karpish said.

Karpish would not say whether Andersen was a victim in their case, but she did thank the Douglas County Sheriff’s investigators for their help in the case.

Peep how crazy this isht really got though…

One of the women that Shelly was impersonating was an underaged woman in California who had sent “scantily clad” pics to the tatted baller while he played for the Denver Nuggets. The California woman then reportedly tried to extort Chris for gwap after she flew to Denver to meet him in 2011

Bryant now says the woman in California was also a victim of the woman in Canada. The message purportedly from the California woman’s mother is now believed to have been written by the woman in Canada, Bryant said.

Essentially, the Canadian woman was an unseen interloper in the relationship, simultaneously duping Andersen and the young woman in California, Bryant said.

For example, though Andersen and the woman from California met once in person, Bryant said it turns out they never actually communicated directly with each other online, aside from an initial contact. Instead, all the communication unknowingly flowed through the woman in Canada — posing as Andersen to the California woman and as the California woman to Andersen. Sometimes the woman would simply pass along messages, Bryant said. At other times, she would fabricate messages, he said.

Bryan said, at one point, the woman in Canada — posing as Andersen — threatened the woman in California with violence and with releasing lurid photos of the woman taken when she was under 18.

Nev and Max would have a FIELD DAY with this one.
