A woman in the Calistoga, California area has reportedly pleaded guilty to embezzlement and elder abuse. According to reports, she pleaded guilty and admitted to taking more than $200,000. Now, she will have to forfeit many items and pay restitution to the victim. She was reportedly hired by the elderly victim to handle personal matters, but took advantage of that person.
