Lorelei Corpuz Pleads Guilty

The gender-bending grifter and child molester, Lorelei Corpuz, aka Mark Villanueva, pleaded guilty to third degree sex crimes with a minor.  This single charge will net her one year in jail and permanent residency on sex offender registries. 

 

She’s not finished with court appearances, however.  She faces other charges of sex crimes with other children and several charges of fraud involving forged checks and scamming children out of their lunch money.

When she gets out of jail sometime later this year, Lorelei J. Corpuz likely will face a different world.  She no longer will be able to live with the teenage girl she now admits molesting.

Exposed as a gender-bending impostor, the 30-year-old woman likely will find it tougher to pass herself off as a 17-year-old boy named “Mark.”  And, wherever she goes, she will have to register with police as a convicted sex offender.

Corpuz pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of third-degree child molestation, a felony.  Prosecutors will ask that Corpuz serve a year in the county jail, the maximum punishment under state sentencing guidelines, deputy prosecutor Mark Roe said.

Corpuz’s legal troubles are not over. She remains under investigation in Snohomish and Kitsap counties for alleged fraud and sex crimes.  Everett detectives have nearly completed their investigation into forgery and theft allegations, Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz said.

Everett police investigated at least six incidents in which Corpuz allegedly forged checks for money. In some of those incidents, Corpuz allegedly was passing herself off as a man named Mark Villanueva, Goetz said.

Kitsap County detectives have wrapped up their investigation into allegations that Corpuz had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old Bremerton girl three years ago.

Kitsap investigators looked into the allegations at the time, but they did not know Corpuz was a woman, or that she was a dozen years older than the girl. The case was reopened after Kitsap detectives were contacted by Everett police.

They’ve since tracked down the former Bremerton girl, who is now 19 and married with a child of her own.  She has told investigators a story almost identical to what happened to the Everett girl who befriended an orphan named “Mark.” Corpuz moved into her home, too, but the girl told detectives “Mark” was sent packing after the relationship turned violent.

In court on Wednesday, Corpuz wore her hair cropped short and she spoke softly. At 5 foot 3, she had to stand on tiptoes to raise her handcuffed wrists high enough that she could sign court documents on a table in front of her.

Let’s hope the prosecutors and the judges show no mercy on this horrible troll of a woman.  In this other article I found, it says that she badgered some middle school kids into giving her money to help her out because she was a teenage runaway.

From SeattlePI here:

One case reported to police involves Cindy Woods’ grandsons.

Woods said Corpuz, while hanging out at middle schools in Everett, scammed her grandsons into lending her their debit cards. The boys then lost $500 each from their accounts. Corpuz, posing as “Mark,” told her grandsons that she was a teenage runaway in desperate need of help, Woods said.

“This person just dogged them by phone, calling them and crying and begging and saying, ‘I’m going to be killed if I don’t get this money,’ ” Woods said. “You’re talking about 14- and 13-year-old boys.”

She wondered what kind of person Corpuz was.

I think its clear what kind of person Lorelei was.  She was a twisted predator who wrecked the lives of everyone she encountered.
