    Woman Allegedly Robbed Men After Making Fake Domestic Abuse Claims

    Strange Joke but apparently Mountain View Police says its real

    MOUTAIN VIEW ? Mountain View Police have again arrested Sunmee Kim for allegedly robbing men after fabricating claims that she's been the victim of domestic assault

    Detectives say that the 44-year-old Kim's modus operandi involves connecting with unsuspecting victims on Korean dating sites, developing relationships with them before eventually calling police with phony claims that she'd been assaulted. Kim then stole valuable after police removed the falsely accused abuser from the home, police said.

    "She would make it appear as if she'd been injured over the course of a fight," said Mountain View Police Department Public Information Officer Katie Nelson.

    Kim took her false role as a domestic violence victim to the hilt, according to police.

    "In addition to getting these men arrested, she would also receive victim services, which she was very clearly was not entitled to, because she was not a victim," Nelson said.

    Mountain View police arrested her on Tuesday in a Burlingame hotel and allegedly found several credit cards belonging to men that had been wrongly accused by her.

    Police from Mountain View first arrested Kim in June after she duped police into arresting her housemate who she said was her fianc?.

    The man was eventually released, but in his absence from the home, Kim made off with his valuables, police claimed.

    Kim was busted but dropped off the radar by failing to show up for court.

    During an investigation, police came to believe that she had victimized men throughout the state, was wanted by authorities in Orange and Los Angeles counties and had served time.

    Police investigating the case after Kim's disappearance learned that she had allegedly victimized numerous men in this manner throughout the state, was wanted in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, and had, in fact, served time in Southern California.

    "She's so prolific in terms of her aliases, and she's so good in figuring out who her victims are, and really bringing them in and entrapping them," Nelson said. "We are fearful that there could be more victims out there that either haven't come forward or that didn't know that she was someone who would do this to them."

    Apparently Mountain View Police is saying this scandal is real

    A woman connected with multiple fraud cases across the state – and whom we previously arrested back in June – was arrested Tuesday on an outstanding warrant related to our case.

    Sunmee Kim, 44, was arrested in June in Palo Alto by Mountain View detectives following an ongoing investigation that stemmed from a case out of our city in January.

    Kim is notorious for connecting with unsuspecting victims on Korean dating sites, developing a relationship with them, then calling police and claiming that she was the victim of domestic violence. Once the accused partner was removed from the home, Kim would steal any and all valuables and also receive victim services.

    Her arrest and the background on the case can be found here: https://www.mountainview.gov/news/di...322&TargetID=9

    Within weeks of her arrest, Kim was once again at-large after she failed to report to her probation officer for court appearances on connected cases out of southern California.

    On Nov. 5, Mountain View detectives received a tip that Kim was staying at a hotel in Burlingame. Our detectives made their way to the hotel and successfully arrested Kim. During a search of Kim, multiple credit cards belonging to additional victims were found.

    Kim, who goes by other names including Sunny Jean Kim, Jean Kim, Jiin and Ashley Kim, is known to frequent KoreanCupid.com to find her victims.

    “I applaud our detectives’ relentlessness as they pursued this case,” said Lt. Mike Canfield. “Kim’s abuse of services that should be used to help real victims of domestic violence is appalling, and we will do all we can to ensure she cannot ensnare and victimize again.”
