It could just be that her 'Romania Angels' role for orphans was largely ceremonial, and that she had no idea the US colonel stationed there was a degenerate.
We keep wanting to give Erika the benefit of the doubt, which as basically good people we tend to do and sadly, that facet of our being has been weaponized for use against us. As the Cs responded, "A bit shady. Notice her current behavior", what exactly are we to make of that? Is she merely a useful idiot that was groomed by her "shady" family to be the honeypot to snare Charlie? Is she a full-fledged psychopath that knowingly set up a charity that sent innocent orphans into the child trafficking pipeline?
We know that very attractive persons are instantly given a highly favorable reception in people's minds, a psychological fact. Does her outward beauty cunningly hide a devious and evil persona inside? We'll have to go with "By their fruits ye shall know them." IOW, wait and see how she proceeds from this point on, keeping in mind she's surrounded by the wolves who plotted to take out Charlie. My take anyway.
