PHILADELPHIA — A white suburban mother who once fled to Disney World after claiming two black men had kidnapped her and her daughter appeared in U.S. Court Friday on new charges involving a $700,000 fraud case.

Bonnie Sweeten, 39, of Feasterville was paroled from a county prison for the hoax abduction early Friday and immediately taken into FBI custody. The paralegal and mother of three will be held until a detention hearing set for Wednesday.

Sweeten spoke privately to a public defender but said nothing publicly and did not enter a plea at the brief hearing. Her long blond hair has darkened after nearly a year in prison. No relatives were in the courtroom.

A 23-count federal indictment last month charged that she diverted money from her law firm and spent it on clothing, jewelry, tanning salons, gym fees and a $425,000 house. She also forged a driver's license, passport, court order and mortgage paperwork, authorities charged.

Authorities consider her a flight risk and will seek to detain her until trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Denise Wolf said.
