NY woman pleads guilty to Newtown shooting fraud
NY woman pleads guilty to Newtown shooting fraud
Associated Press – 13 mins ago
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A New York City woman has pleaded guilty to engaging in a fraudulent fundraising scheme in which she posed as the aunt of a Newtown school shooting victim.
Federal prosecutors say 37-year-old Nouel Alba, of the Bronx, pleaded guilty Thursday in Bridgeport, Conn., to wire fraud and making false statements.
A gunman killed 20 children and six educators inside a Newtown, Conn., school on Dec. 14.
Shortly afterward, authorities say, Alba used Facebook, email, text messages and telephone calls to falsely claim to be the aunt of a child who had been killed and made up details about the aftermath of the shooting to solicit donations for a "funeral fund."
Prosecutors say she also lied to FBI agents about her activities.
Alba is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 29.
