From Staff Reports
A Victorville woman accused of stealing $6,000 from a 72-year-old Crestline woman she befriended at an Apple Valley gym pleaded guilty to elder abuse and fraud Wednesday, court records indicate.
Jacqueline Johnson-Seright, 51, of Victorville, met the 72-year-old Crestline victim in 2009 at “The Spinners” gym in Apple Valley, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff’s records. Johnson-Seright convinced the victim to hire her as a personal trainer and then as a housekeeper, according to reports.
During that time, Johnson-Seright reportedly stole the victim’s checkbook and wrote 15 checks totaling about $6,000. For months, she told the victim not to file a police report because she would pay the money back, but in Februarythe victim finally contacted sheriff’s officials.
Johnson-Seright missed a scheduled court date April 16 and was almost an hour late to her May 15 court date. When she finally showed up she was remanded into custody.
Officials said Johnson-Seright attended different gyms in the High Desert area. They are concerned there may be other victims.
Johnson-Seright has an extensive record for various offenses, according to court documents, including grand theft, theft of utilities, several traffic violations and three separate incidents of failing to obey the school attendance board.
Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities at (909) 336-0100.
