Fake Boerne doctor sentenced on fraud charges

A woman accused of practicing medicine in town without a license will spend eight years behind bars after pleading guilty to two felony fraud charges last week.

Catharina Hunter, 48, who was charged with fraudulent use of identifying information and fraudulent securing of document execution, on Tuesday received two- and eight-year sentences, respectively, to run concurrently.

The faux physician hung out her shingle as a healer for three years, investigators said.
