Fortune telling for a fee has been illegal in Oklahoma since 1915 but the law is rarely enforced.

The unusual charge, though, has been filed against an Oklahoma City psychic who could see jail in her future if convicted. The next court date is in March.

Sonia Lisa Marks, 52, is accused of illegally operating "Mrs. Maples Psychic Reader" at 4445 SW 33. Her attorney says Marks was "targeted" for prosecution of an outdated and unenforced law.

"They want to turn this into some criminal act, which to me is just a joke," defense attorney Scott Adams said. "I wish someone could explain to me what is so horrible about someone reportedly being able to tell you what your future is."
