Ventura County (California) District Attorney Gregory Totten announced that Toni Radys (DOB: 6/10/52) of Moorpark, has pled guilty to insurance fraud, grand theft, mental abuse and financial elder abuse with a special allegation of a loss over $150,000. Radys committed the crimes against her mother.Fraudulent acts committed by Radys reportedly include using false pretenses to add her name to the legal title of her mother's home. Radys reportedly used a power of attorney granted to her by her mother to procure a mortgage on a second property, then removed her mother from that property's legal ownership.
In addition to stealing money from her mother's bank accounts, Radys reportedly applied for a credit card and a life insurance policy in her mother's name, without her mother's consent. She caused debt to accumulate on the credit card and named herself as the sole beneficiary of the life insurance policy. Radys reportedly verbally abused her mother and threatened to evict her from her own home.
Radys was sentenced to 123 days in Ventura County jail, financial restitution and domestic violence classes. Her sentencing also includes returning legal real estate ownership to her mother. Should Radys fail to meet her probation terms, she could be sentenced to prison for up to 10 years and eight months.

I have some firsthand knowledge of this case. This was my cousin who defrauded her own mother. It was overwhelming and completely stressful for my Aunt, and I believe it led to her eventual demise. Very sad.
