Stuntwoman Turned Attorney Accused of Staging Car Crashes
Vanessa Motta, a former stuntwoman who starred in major films such as “Jurassic World” and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” is now at the center of a federal investigation. The 43-year-old attorney faces charges of orchestrating a complex scheme involving staged car crashes, fraudulent insurance claims, and lawsuits in New Orleans, a city known for its vibrant culture and rich history. The shocking allegations have rocked the legal community and raised questions about the integrity of the justice system in the region.
The Alleged Conspiracy
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Motta, along with her disbarred lawyer fiancé, Sean Alfortish, and a group of professional drivers known as “slammers,” orchestrated a series of staged car crashes involving 18-wheelers. These crashes were carefully planned to appear as legitimate accidents, leading to the submission of fraudulent insurance claims and lawsuits. The intricate web of deceit involved multiple individuals who played various roles in executing the scheme, from the drivers to the witnesses who falsely claimed the truck drivers were at fault.
Legal Troubles and Personal Drama
The unfolding drama in court revealed a tangled web of personal relationships and legal entanglements. Motta, who founded her own law practice, Motta Law, LLC, in 2017, found herself at the center of a federal indictment that included charges of mail and wire fraud, obstructing justice, and witness tampering. Alongside her co-defendants, including attorney Jason Giles and several other individuals implicated in the conspiracy, Motta faced the daunting prospect of a federal trial and potential prison time.
A Tragic Turn of Events
The investigation took a dark turn with the murder of Cornelius Garrison, one of the key witnesses in the case, who was allegedly silenced to prevent him from cooperating with authorities. The shocking revelation of Garrison’s death at the hands of one of the alleged “slammers,” Ryan “Red” Harris, sent shockwaves through the legal community and raised serious concerns about the safety of those involved in the case. As the investigation continued to unravel, more details emerged about the extent of the conspiracy and the lengths to which the defendants went to cover their tracks.
