A Tarzana psychic and her husband are facing criminal charges for allegedly bilking an emotionally vulnerable San Fernando Valley man out of close to $1 million during the course of a two-year-long scam.
April Lee, 28, and Michael Johnson, 32, are due back in court in San Jose Dec. 19 to answer to charges of grand theft, attempted grand theft and extortion after they were arrested during a sting operation last month in Northern California, according to court filings.
According to investigators, Lee was operating under the alias Michelle Morgan when she first met the victim, Bryan James, 25, in the fall of 2011. Suffering from career and health woes, he went to Lee's psychic business on Etiwanda Avenue at Ventura Boulevard for a reading.
