Jennifer Cormier, 45, of Naugatuck, has waived her right to be indicted and pleaded guilty in New Haven federal court to a fraud offence stemming from an embezzlement scheme.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Cormier was employed at a family-owned business, identified in court documents in “Company A,” in Naugatuck, where she performed bookkeeping and other office-related tasks.
Between approximately 2017 and July 2023, Cormier stole from her employer by fraudulently creating approximately 1,000 checks made payable to her and to “cash,” forged the signature of Company A’s owner or used the owner’s signature stamp on the checks, and then cashed them or deposited them into her personal bank account.
After the checks were issued, she deleted the transaction in Company A’s accounting system. Through this scheme, Cormier embezzled $865,106.17.
Cormier pleaded guilty to bank fraud, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 30. She is released on a $50,000 bond pending sentencing, which is scheduled for December 18.
