Treva Joyce Throneberry (born May 18, 1969) is an American woman who spent most of her twenties pretending to be a teenager and engaging in other forms of con artistry, for which she would eventually be convicted and imprisoned.
She made numerous false claims of sexual abuse, including that she was a victim of satanic ritual abuse to gain money.
During this time she traveled the United States, residing in foster homes, colleges and with any family that would take her in, using false identities.
Her father, Carl Throneberry, said: "She's just going cross-country and using different names and receiving welfare."As of 2003, she falsely claimed to be a woman named Brianna Stewart who was born in 1981.
Arrested in 2001 and charged with fraud and perjury, her true identity was established by DNA testing.
Court-appointed psychologists deemed Throneberry to not be delusional, and that she knew what she was doing.
She was convicted and was given a three-year sentence at a correctional center in Gig Harbor, Washington.
Throneberry was released after serving two years and three months of her sentence.In October 2019, under her new legal name of Brianna Kenzie, she started a blog to share about her life from her perspective (briannakenzielivingoutloud.wordpress.com).
