A woman who accused her ex of a crime during a bitter divorce has been indicted on charges of making false statements to NASA’s Office of Inspector General and the Federal Trade Commission.

Summer Worden, 44, claimed last year that her famous and estranged astronaut wife Anne McClain had improperly accessed Worden’s bank account while in outer space. As The Daily Wire reported at the time, “Worden, a former Air Force intelligence officer, notified the Federal Trade Commission and filed a complaint with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Inspector General. McClain, bank records showed, had accessed the bank account while preparing for NASA’s first all-female spacewalk aboard the International Space Station.”
