Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Priscilla Presley confesses being a victim to a faux doctor. The ex-wife of the late King of Rock & Roll has verified reports that she had once fallen prey to an unqualified plastic surgeon.

Dr. Daniel Serrano pleaded guilty in a Los Angeles court to conspiracy, smuggling, and use of unapproved drugs in 2006. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail.

The 62-year-old actress' rep released a statement Tuesday confirming reports that she had once been a patient of the doctor in question.

The statement reads, "Priscilla Presley was one of many documented victims of Dr. Serrano. An investigation which uncovered his misconduct ultimately lead to his imprisonment. Ms. Presley dealt with this matter years ago and everything is well."

Presley is currently a contestant in "Dancing With The Stars" and is partnered with professional dancer Louis van Amstel. She is the oldest contestant to compete in the dancing show.
