The former fiancée of Lorenzo Gordon was indicted last month on over a dozen charges related to fraud and identity theft.
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Williams was arrested on federal charges related to fraud. The report states that she was indicted at the end of September “on five felony charges of misuse of a Social Security number, four charges of bank fraud, three charges of making false statements to the IRS, three charges of wire fraud and three charges of aggravated identity theft.”
Williams was reportedly arrested earlier today (October 7) and pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors say Williams used false Social Security numbers in 2017 to obtain loans, lines of credit and other funds from financial institutions. In 2018 and 2019, Williams deposited four checks ranging in value between $4,500 and $5,800 into accounts that she controlled and withdrew the money before the checks bounced or banks realized they were fraudulent, prosecutors said. The owners of the checks were unaware of the deposits, prosecutors said. She also falsely claimed dependents on her 2017-2019 tax returns, using false names and Social Security numbers, prosecutors said.
Meanwhile, the reality star’s attorney has stated that he is confident the evidence will show Williams is innocent, noting that she was “targeted because of her celebrity.” It is unclear what punishment Williams is facing if convicted.
