Teyaune Clairmont, a/k/a Teyaune Clairmont Escobedo, age 29, was indicted on September 9, 2020. She appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on September 30, 2020, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The charges are merely accusations and Clairmont is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
