California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the sentencing of Nema Mohamed for committing elder abuse against seven victims while working as a caregiver at two separate assisted living facilities in San Diego County. Mohamed was sentenced in the San Diego County Superior Court. The Court denied Mohamed’s request for probation and sentenced her to four years of local county prison. This is Mohamed’s third conviction for financial elder abuse and related crimes. In her previous convictions, she was sentenced to a five-year term of probation, which barred her from working with the elderly. Through coercion, Mohamed used her sister’s identity in order to again obtain employment working with senior citizens. Once hired, Mohamed used her position as a caregiver to enter into victims’ rooms and steal their IDs, credit cards, and cash. On May 26, 2021, Mohamed pleaded guilty to four felonies, including financial elder abuse, fraudulent use of access card information, grand theft, and theft of identifying information with a prior conviction.
