A 24-year-old female TikTok creator: TikTok creator Catherine Colivas, along with three men, kidnapped a member of the Saudi royal family in February last year and extorted $40,000 worth of Bitcoin.
Although the judge believed the crime was serious, Catherine escaped a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. She received a lighter sentence for the following special reasons:
Catherine is still very young
Catherine had a difficult upbringing
Catherine's mental health is very fragile
Catherine's brother passed away during her trial
Another woman involved in the case, Paris Kennedy, pleaded guilty and was released by the judge after serving 90 days in prison for 'showing genuine remorse and good behavior in prison.'
