Psychic Accused Of 'Theft By Hex' After Telling 12-Year-Old To Steal Jewelry

The case dates back to August when the victim became friends with Jackeline Lopez’s child. Authorities allege the 12-year-old victim would sneak out of her home to visit Lopez and her friend.

Police say Lopez, 42, told the young girl she could predict her future and that she, along with her family, was cursed.

“Lopez allegedly conducted these psychic readings in her home’s garage which she had decorated with numerous candles, chalk outlines, black caldrons, replicated human skulls, beads, dolls, and other similar items consistent with psychic readings,” the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

Officials say Lopez told the girl the only way to remove the curse was to steal more than $10,000 worth of jewelry from her parents.
