ONE HOGAN PLACE, July 7– Manhattan DA Alvin
Bragg and NYS Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli held a joint
press conference on July 7 in DA Bragg's Office. Inner
City Press went, live streamed and asked about the
cases.
The duo announced that "CADELIE NEAT, 60,
an Accounts Payable Manager at John Jay College of
Criminal Justice used her position to divert and steal
approximately $710,000 by submitting fraudulent requests
for stipend checks purportedly on behalf of students who
were enrolled in the college’s Academic Preparation
Program for Law Enforcement. Separately, CHERYL CARR, 73,
and ANDREA WILLIAMS, 47, allegedly stole $288,529 from the
Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy Charter School by
incorporating a fraudulent, similarly named school in
Idaho, and diverting and depositing two checks intended
for the Manhattan-based non-profit."
When came time for Q&A, Inner
City Press asked why Carr and Williams were not yet in the
NYS WebCrims database, while Neat was, having been
ROR-ed.
DA Bragg said they had been
presented, it just wasn't in the system yet.
