Single mother denies fraud charges

Denise Lovell appeared unrepresented before the court of Magistrate Judy Latchman on Monday morning to answer to two counts of fraudulently converting monies to an improper purpose, other than which was stipulated by the Virtual Complainant (VC).
The first charge reported that between February 1, 2017 and June 30, 2017, while being solely entrusted with some $125,000 cash by VC Rhonda James, in order that she may deposit same in James’ New Building Society bank account, the defendant fraudulently converted same to her own use and benefit.
In addition, between November 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the defendant converted to her own use the sum of $320,000, which she was instructed to deposit in James’ New Building Society savings account.
The 46-year-old woman denied the allegations and told the Magistrate that she was a single mother of two, permanently residing in Norton Street, Georgetown.
Bail was set at $150,000 for each charge, and the matter was adjourned to September 25, 2017 at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
