The Influencer Who Made up a Kidnap Plot to Gain Followers.

Katie Sorensen took to Instagram and informed her followers their children were in danger.

Katie Sorensen (31) is an Instagram influencer who would stop at nothing to gain followers. This included making up a story that she had stopped an attempt to kidnap her children in 2020. 

The mother of two took to her Instagram to alert other parents to the incident that happened to her when a couple approached and tried to take her children. 

It wasn't long before the story, and her reputation crumpled as police investigating the case realised it was fake. 

Sorensen is now famous for being arrested and charged with making a false statement. This time she will not be making any videos on the subject. She was banned from social media on conviction. 

So how did a popular Instagram influencer go from hero to villain overnight?
