AURORA | Prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss charges against a woman who was indicted for allegedly helping her daughter fabricate medical information to avoid the fallout of a separate criminal scheme targeting an Aurora lawmaker.
Janice Dudley was named along with her daughter, Robin Niceta, in a July 2023 indictment that said Niceta created fake medical records as well as a website for a fake cancer clinic in New Mexico. The ruse was created to persuade prosecutors that Niceta was suffering from brain cancer and thus incompetent to stand trial on felony and misdemeanor charges for falsely accusing Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky of child sexual abuse.
While the clinic’s website and the phone number of a nonexistent doctor were traced back to Niceta and Dudley, in a motion to dismiss filed March 28, prosecutors said they had “determined that the evidence which originally established (Dudley)’s culpability in that conspiracy, and in this criminal prosecution, was itself also fabricated by Robin Niceta.”
“As such, the People submit that the interests of justice would not be served through the continued prosecution of the defendant in this case and request to dismiss this action,” the motion reads.
The status of the case will be reviewed April 8 by Judge Eric Elliff.
Dudley wrote in an email Sunday that she didn’t understand why her alleged involvement in the case wasn’t scrutinized more closely from the start.
“I lost my youngest daughter to an awful rare cancer in July 2010. It was a similar situation for our family, and of course we took care of Robin. That was all it was,” Dudley wrote.
“They tried to serve the warrant on the anniversary of our youngest daughter’s death. I hope that was just a coincidence and not a vile move. I could not (have) made it through this stress without the support (of) my friends and family, especially my husband of 50 years. We are a hardworking, private family who did not deserve this harassment.”
In November, Niceta was found guilty of attempting to influence a public servant and making a false report of child abuse in connection with the fraudulent child abuse tip.
Her sentencing on those charges was originally scheduled for January but was twice postponed due to her attorney being unable to attend the hearings in question. She is currently scheduled to be sentenced May 24.
The trial associated with Niceta’s claim of suffering from brain cancer is scheduled to begin April 29.
They should not drop these charges. Niceta tried to frame a lawmaker who was calling attention to her girlfreinds failure in a public office. When caught, she ropes in her family to come up with more lies to avoid the consequences. The families and parents of these people need to be held responsible. Not doing so sends the message that this is okay.
The audacity to talk about what the damage the system has done to them (Necita’s Family), they destroyed hundreds of families lives on deceit and lies. The children they damaged and children they trafficked across the country with malicious intentions and criminal actions. Coming from a Victim of the Arapahoe County Colorado; CPS system, who is releasing a Novel on Father’s Day called “Never Give Up Hope!” I documented what CPS did to my children and the severe damage they inflicted on my special needs child.
