Her mother [[Glenda Brawley]] and stepfather [[Ralph King]] were also alleged to have been aware she was lying, as witnesses testified that they heard Mrs. Brawley telling King that "You shouldn't have taken the money because after it all comes out, they're going to find out the truth" and "They know we're lying and they're going to find out and come and get us". Her boyfriend Daryl Rodriguez later claimed in 1989 that Brawley had told him she was lying. On June 8<sup>th</sup>, 1988, Glenda Brawley was convicted of contempt of court and sentenced to 30 days in prison, but evaded arrest, eventually fleeing with her family to Virginia Beach. Steven Pagones later sued Tawana Brawley, Al Sharpton, Alton Maddox and Vernon Mason for defamation. Brawley was ordered to pay Pagones $185,000 in compensation; she still had not paid by December 2012 and was forced to forfeit her wages until the debt, now over $400,000 due to interest, was paid off. | Her mother [[Glenda Brawley]] and stepfather [[Ralph King]] were also alleged to have been aware she was lying, as witnesses testified that they heard Mrs. Brawley telling King that "You shouldn't have taken the money because after it all comes out, they're going to find out the truth" and "They know we're lying and they're going to find out and come and get us".
