A grandson and daughter are accused of financially exploiting an Iowa City woman who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease.
According to a joint news release from the Iowa Insurance Division and the Johnson County Attorney’s Office, 26-year-old Keelan France of Amhurst Street and 49-year-old Nicole Linderholm of Princeton Road are each charged with Financial Exploitation of an Older Individual, a Class B felony that carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
The Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau reports finding a pattern of unauthorized spending and misuse of more than $500,000 of funds belonging to a 76-year-old Iowa City woman with Alzheimer’s. The defendants allegedly used their positions of trust to gain access to the victim’s financial resources, diverting money for their own personal benefit that resulted in substantial financial losses for the victim, with ongoing risk to her remaining assets.
The reported thefts occurred between November of 2022 and January of this year.
