When Jill Ajao’s libido wilted and she felt stressed-out and depressed, a doctor prescribed a hormone cocktail that seemed like a miracle cure. She felt amazingly good—until she wrecked her marriage, lost her job, and almost ended up in jail.

Despite the fact that I’ve seen her photograph and heard her described by a police investigator and a lawyer, I do not recognize Jill Ajao.
The still shots from security camera footage showed a bulky woman with wiry dark hair, a fleshy, squint-eyed face, and a lumber jack’s stance. Legal professionals who met her in 2006—the year she falsely reported a rape and sent the Saint Paul, Minnesota, police department on a costly six-month investigation—remembered a confused, inarticulate woman. Frumpy, secretive, and insecure.
“This woman was not polished,” says Jerry Strauss, the attorney for the man she accused. “She had a disheveled appearance, a kind of heavy, middle-aged homemaker. Maybe of average intellect or below. Not at all what you’d expect of a psychologist with a PhD. There was no higher-level thinking going on.”
