An Ontario woman is facing 19 identity fraud charges for allegedly presenting herself as a registered nurse at several Simcoe County health care facilities, despite lacking the necessary qualifications.

Hailey Roberts, resident of the township of Tiny, north of Barrie, was employed as a nurse from September 2020 to April 2024, performing a wide range of nursing duties in a number of health-care facilities, including long-term care homes, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said in a Nov. 1 press release.
