Watertown Woman Accused of Stealing from Developmentally Disabled Adults

A Watertown woman faces charges in Worcester Superior Court of stealing a total of $22,000 from residents of a home for developmentally disabled adults in Grafton.

Worcester County prosecutors say Boutin, 46, stole $21,930 from six residents of a Seven Hills Foundation community in Grafton in 2003 and 2004 while she was the residence director, according to a Worcester Telegram & Gazette report. The Telegram reports Boutin now lives in Watertown, and previously resided in Grafton.

Boutin was arrested in Boston last week on a warrant for two counts of identity fraud and six counts of larceny of more than $250 from a person over 60 or disabled. She was released on her own recognizance Monday.

In 2005, Boutin was arrested on the charges, but she failed to appear in court. Last week she was arrested by State Police in Boston on the warrant for the outstanding charges.
