South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that his office’s Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit (VAMPF) has arrested Christa Porter Bennett, 51 years old, of Easley, SC, for one count of Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult and one count of Breach of Trust with Fraudulent Intent, value more than $2,000 but less than $10,000. Bennett was booked into the Greenville County Detention Center on June 28, 2024. An investigation by the VAMPF unit revealed that, between June 24, 2022, and December 31, 2023, Bennett knowingly made unlawful and unauthorized use of the funds and assets of a vulnerable adult. Specifically, it is alleged that Bennett, while being entrusted as the victim’s conservator, converted funds and assets valued between $2,000 and $10,000 of the victim’s money to her own personal use. The victim, a vulnerable adult under South Carolina law, resided at The Residences at Greer, an assisted living facility, at the time of the alleged misconduct.
