O'Neill faces 8 counts of Theft by Deception for billing for services while presenting herself as a licensed physician, when she held no such license and Conspiracy related to Corrupt Organizations.

She began with a two-year stint at the notoriously troubled Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Delta has a long history going back at least to 1998 of violations and filthy conditions of a similar nature found at Gosnell's "house of horrors" in Philadelphia.
