Fox News
A 34-year-old woman from Indiana was sentenced to 36 months behind bars after she pleaded guilty to defrauding a 96-year-old widower by perpetuating a fake online relationship.
Over time, Lasley persuaded the 96-year-old to send her money, gift cards, credit cards and even to hand over sensitive banking information. She subsequently gained access to his checking account and made several unauthorized purchases, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Attorney Cunha said Lasley led the victim to believe that these gifts would continue to foster a romantic relationship.
