Executive summary: The infamous JT LeRoy

In 1999, New York writer Stephen Beachy postulated that JT LeRoy, a reclusive transgendered male prostitute and author of a controversial novel and several short works, was nothing other than a hoax of Laura Albert. A preponderance of circumstancial evidence indicated that such was almost certainly the case, and in 2006 Albert confirmed this to the Paris Review. In 2007, a Manhattan court ordered her to pay $116,500 for costs incurred in pre-production for a scuttled film adaptation of Albert/LeRoy's Sarah.
