Former Virginia mental health worker turned minister defrauds elder
Posted on May 31, 2010
When a man declared bankruptcy and suddenly an elderly woman sold her house and turned all of the proceeds over to him, authorities became suspicious – for good reason.
A man who once worked as a mental health employee in a Virginia hospital and is now a Baptist minister is accused of committing Medicaid fraud and tampering with public records. In 2004 he filled out and submitted a false Medicaid application for a widow in her mid-90s.
On the application, the minister, Kevin Clark, 53, did not disclose the sale of the woman’s home as he should have by law. According to Clark, he was only trying to help the woman get Medicare benefits.
He claims that after the woman became ill she decided to sell her house because she needed long-term, permanent care. She gave the proceeds from the sale of the home, Clark claims, as a gift because he was her minister and had been looking out for her.
The Deputy Attorney General disagreed, claiming that Clark committed fraud by manipulating the elderly woman into giving him the proceeds from the sale of her home. The Deputy AG added that the woman was moved from one facility to another and had no place to go. Clark, she stated, has declared bankruptcy twice, has a gambling habit, and drives a Mercedes.
