Roxana C. Laub, a sheriff's department worker in California, was accused of spending approximately $45,000 from her grandmother's finances, without her consent, leading to multiple charges of bank fraud and identity theft.
Federal prosecutors detailed that Laub forged her grandmother's signature on over 20 checks and made unauthorized charges using her grandmother's credit card, causing significant financial harm to the elderly woman.
Laub's fraudulent activities stretched across several years, involving both checks and credit card spending, and prosecutors indicated that Laub went so far as to impersonate her grandmother in communications with the bank.
Prosecutors emphasized the breach of trust in Laub's actions, noting her role as a public employee and the additional layer of betrayal in exploiting her position to defraud a vulnerable family member.
