"For nearly four years, John Jerome O’Hara took charge
of his mother’s care at a Kentucky nursing home as Alzheimer’s disease
robbed her of independence.
O’Hara gained power
of attorney over her affairs in June 2014 and was expected to manage
thousands of dollars in income a month — and, perhaps most important,
direct most of it for living expenses at Wesley Manor in Louisville.
For
nearly four years, he robbed her of more than $332,000, according to a
grand jury indictment released Friday that totaled 18 counts — 10 of
bank fraud, four of wire fraud and four of “access device fraud.”
