BOSTON – A purported psychic who charged an elderly Massachusetts woman more than $3.5 million for exorcisms and "spiritual cleansing" has pleaded guilty to evading taxes.
Federal prosecutors say Sally Ann Johnson, 41, of South Florida, ran businesses that claimed to offer "psychic readings" and "spiritual cleansing and strengthening."

The businesses included Flatiron Psychic, Psychic Match Inc. and Psychic Spiritual Salon Inc., which was based in Hollywood.
Between 2007 and 2014, prosecutors say a Martha's Vineyard woman paid Johnson more than $3.5 million for services that claimed to rid the woman of demons.
Prosecutors say Johnson didn't report the income and tried to hide the money so she wouldn't have to pay taxes on it.
Johnson pleaded guilty in the federal court in Boston Thursday and has agreed to repay the woman.
Prosecutors say Johnson also went by the aliases Angela Johnson, Angelia Johnson and Sally Reed.
She's expected to be sentenced in January.
Her attorney did not immediately respond to an email on Friday.
