BATON ROUGE, LA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"JusticeA federal judge sentenced a 36-year-old man to a year in prison for stealing $208,307 from his employer, Elder Outreach, a non-profit health care organization.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. District Court Judge John W. deGravelles<\/strong> also ordered Travis Templet<\/strong>, age 36, of Gonzales, Louisiana, to pay restitution of $208,307.<\/span><\/p>\n

Templet was also ordered to forfeit all property traceable to the gross proceeds of the scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 1, 2015, Templet, who was sentenced last week, had plead guilty to wire fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Templet was the controller at Elder Outreach, a non-profit health care organization, which manages nursing homes and rehabilitation centers in Louisiana and Arkansas.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. Attorney Walt Green stated<\/strong>, \u201cMy office will continue to make fraud and embezzlement prosecutions a high priority, as we work to hold corrupt insiders such as this defendant accountable.\u00a0 The defendant\u2019s actions in this case were particularly egregious in that he not only betrayed the trust placed in him by his employer, but also took advantage of a non-profit health care organization, which managed elder care facilities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Between December of 2011 and October of 2014, Templet engaged in a scheme to defraud his employer using material false pretenses and wire communications to execute his scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scheme involved Templet modifying the coding on fraudulently issued checks in Elder Outreach\u2019s software program, writing checks to himself, and altering the company\u2019s accounting records and software applications to conceal his actions, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Templet obtained the checks, officials said he would deposit the funds into one of his personal accounts.\u00a0 Throughout the scheme, Templet wrote more than sixty-seven checks totaling $208,307.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Secret Service<\/strong> and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/strong> investigated this case.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
