Attorney General John M. Formella announced that Christina Lariviere, age 37, formerly of Bow, pleaded guilty and was sentenced on April 5, 2022, on felony and misdemeanor counts of identity fraud, forgery, theft, and credit card fraud. Between July and August 2019, while working as a caregiver at a long-term care facility in Londonderry, Ms. Lariviere stole personal identifying information (“PII”), including social security cards and driver’s licenses, from four elderly residents, ages 99, 97, 91, and 87, all of whom suffered from dementia. Ms. Lariviere then used the PII of two of the residents to open credit card accounts in the residents’ names. Ms. Lariviere also stole a credit card belonging to one of the residents, using the card to make purchases for herself.
In November 2019, while employed as an in-home caregiver, Ms. Lariviere stole cash from one elderly client, age 87, in Pelham and debit card information belonging to another elderly client, age 87, in Salem, using the debit card information to make purchases for herself. Ms. Lariviere forged checks belonging to two additional elderly individuals in Pelham, and used another person’s identity to open bank accounts in order to deposit these checks. Ms. Lariviere used account information associated with one of the checks to make purchases for herself.
