Nov. 20 (UPI) -- A former congressional staff member has been accused of faking a violent attack against her at a New Jersey park, according to the criminal complaint.
Natalie Greene, 26, allegedly paid a body modification artist to etch wounds onto her skin and then claimed she had been assaulted in a politically motivated attack in July, according to the complaint announced Wednesday.
Greene, of Ocean City, N.J., has been charged with one count of conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes, and one count of making false statements to federal law enforcement, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey.
Greene previously worked for Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., his office told NBC News.
