St. Louis, MO – Carol J. Dotson, 70, St. Louis, pleaded
guilty to one count of wire fraud. She appeared in federal court this morning
before U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber.
According to court documents, from July 2003 to February
2017, Doston embezzled more than $2 million dollars from a commercial real
estate property management company in Olivette, Missouri where she was the
office administrator. Dotson wrote
multiple checks to herself, withdrew large sums of cash to spend on elder care
for her mother, mortgage payments, home renovations, home cleaning services,
law services and shopping at local stores.
Dotson faces up to 20 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine or
both. Restitution to the victim is also mandatory. In determining the actual
sentences, a Judge is required to consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines,
which provide recommended sentencing ranges.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation with assistance from the Olivette Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Dianna
Collins is handling the case for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
