The honeymoon from prosecution is over for the Hudson Valley bride accused of faking terminal cancer to sucker sympathetic folks into giving her wedding-day freebies.
Jessica Vega was indicted on multiple counts of fraud and grand larceny and was cooling her heels Tuesday in the Orange County Jail after being unable to raise the $10,000 bail.
Bridal shop owner Keri Ciastko, who had dressed Vega in a stunning, $1,500, ivory-colored, Maggie Sottero gown that was specially altered to fit her, said that’s where Vega belongs.
