Georgia's "runaway bride," whose much-publicized disappearance days before her wedding turned out to be just a case of cold feet, was indicted on Wednesday on two charges of falsely claiming she was abducted, authorities said.
Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, vanished from her home in Duluth, near Atlanta, days before her wedding in April, triggering a nationwide search.
She was found a few days later in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wilbanks at first said she had been abducted while jogging and sexually assaulted, but later changed her story, telling police she had fled Georgia because she was scared about her lavish wedding.
Wilbanks would face up to six years in prison if convicted on both the charges, Gwinnett County district attorney Danny Porter, said, announcing the indictment by a grand jury earlier on Wednesday.
