AURORA | A judge Monday delayed for the second time the arraignment for a woman accused of faking cancer and swindling a local charity out of more than $10,000.
Julie Jane Martin, 38, is facing a felony theft charge after police say she lied to officials from the Aurora charity Cops Fighting Cancer about being sick for more than a year, bilking the organization for air travel, hotel stays and other expenses.
She was scheduled to enter a plea at arraignment Monday, but a judge delayed the hearing until June 27, according to court records. It wasn’t clear from the records why the hearing was delayed.
At a previously-scheduled arraignment in February, Martin’s lawyer asked for a delay of a few months because Martin was set to have surgery to correct her deafness, which she had recently developed.
Martin is currently free on bond.
