Home Care Aid Indicted for Allegedly Defrauding Elderly Woman Out of Thousands of Dollars

A home care aide has been indicted for allegedly defrauding an elderly woman of thousands of dollars, Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Voorhees Police Chief Louis Bordi announced.

Latoya N. Williams, 31, of Pennsauken, has been indicted on charges of theft by deception and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Williams had access to a credit card after she was hired to care for an 89-year-old Voorhees woman. Williams allegedly used that card to make fraudulent charges in excess of $6,700 between March and April of 2014.

This included payments for a vacation time share, airfare, dental work, insurance, a car loan and cell phone bills.

The victim’s family eventually discovered the unexplained charges and notified police.
