The Romance Scam That Sent Donna Nelson to a Japanese Prison

The Romance Scam That Sent Donna Nelson to a Japanese Prison

In 2023, Perth grandmother Donna Nelson unknowingly carried almost 2 kilograms of methamphetamine into Japan after being deceived in a romance scam, and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Japanese authorities acknowledged she was manipulated but still held her responsible. Two of her five daughters, Ashlee Charles and Kristal Hilaire, join us to share their mother's story and the complexities of navigating the Japanese legal system.
