Kansas City, Mo. ? A Kansas City woman is accused of faking pregnancy and conning prospective adoptive parents out of thousands of dollars after being secretly videotaped by a national news outlet investigating the apparent scam.

Roxanne Janel Jones, 34, is charged in Johnson County, Kan., with two counts of theft and one count of identity theft. She was arrested March 15 after a CBS News producer posing as a mother looking to adopt interviewed her in a Kansas City-area hotel room.

Overland Park Police Detective Dennis Reaser, a financial crimes investigator with the department and a member of a Secret Service financial crimes task force, said authorities are looking for others who might have been taken in by Jones’ story about being pregnant with twins but unable to afford to raise them.

“We are seeking to identify victims or individuals with information pertaining to adoption scams by birth mothers in the Kansas City area,” he told The Associated Press. “The big thing is to identify other victims.”

Jones is accused of scamming more than $1,000 but less than $25,000 from a Leavenworth, Kan., couple and items worth less than $1,000 from Christian Family Services, an Overland Park, Kan., agency that helps women complete their pregnancies or connect with families for legal adoption. She’s also charged with obtaining someone else’s Social Security number.

She was being held in Johnson County Jail on $25,000 bond and was scheduled to for an initial court appearance Thursday. Her public defender could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.

CBS reported that one of its producers contacted Jones last month after a CBS News employee and his wife claimed she had been conned out of money.

The producer received 120 text messages and dozens of calls within the first three weeks after contacting Jones, who she claimed she needed money to pay for food, bills and rent, CBS reported. The program said it wired her small amounts of money that were picked up at a check-cashing store.

Jones has been in trouble with the law before in Johnson County, where she was charged in 2006 with passing a bad check of more than $1,000, a felony. That charge was downgraded to theft of less than $1,000, a misdemeanor, and she was put on probation and ordered to make restitution.

She forfeited thousands of dollars in bond money after failing to appear for scheduled court hearings. Prosecutors on Wednesday filed a motion to revoke probation.
