Guilty Plea In Worcester Loan Fraud Case

WORCESTER, MA — A Virginia man who was previously convicted of bank fraud has pleaded guilty to charges that he used fake documents to get a loan from a Worcester credit union, according to federal prosecutors.

Rashad Al-Terek Walker, 39, of Hampton, Va., on Wednesday pleaded guilty to charges of making a false statement on a loan application and aggravated identity theft. Prosecutors say he used a fake driver license, pay stub and utility bill for the loan application.

However, employees at the credit union called police when they thought the documents were suspicious. Walker was still serving a sentence for bank fraud when he applied for the loan in Worcester in 2019, according to prosecutors.

Walker could face a maximum of 30 years in prison and a fine up to $1 million, according to federal prosecutors.
