Bourdin Had Information
After Bourdin was exposed as a fraud, he pleaded guilty to passport fraud and perjury in 1998, confessing that he had pretended to be Nicholas Barclay after gathering his information from a missing child center. He was sentenced to six years in prison, which was over three times what the sentencing guidelines recommended. The harm he had done to the Barclay family was irreparable.
Then, Bourdin claimed that he knew more about Nicholas Barclay than he was letting on.
