January 2015 - ABC 7 News - Slovakian woman gets probation in child abduction case

A mother who was accused of keeping her two young boys from their fathers has escaped jail time. Maria Pfeifer was the target of an international manhunt for violating custody orders and failing to return from vacation in Europe. She was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay restitution.

Los Angeles County prosecutors said she pleaded guilty to one felony count of custody deprivation. The sentence imposed allows her to travel out of the country. Her Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer, Dmitry Gorin, said she was pleased with the sentencing.

Mr. Gorin was quoted in the article: "For us, for the defense team, the big result was she's not serving a day in jail on this case." In 2012, she was allowed to take her sons on a 10-day trip to the Czech Republic, but never came back. She was arrested in France after violating custody orders that she come back with her children.

She was accused of disguising her sons as girls. Their fathers, who live in Los Angeles, teamed up to find their kids and were eventually reunited. The boys are now with their fathers in Southern California. She has to pay restitution to the two fathers, one whom is Robert Pfeifer, a former music executive who served time in prison in connection with the racketeering case against Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano.
