Former Lawyer Accused of Stealing From Clients, Including Murdered Children's Fund

A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted a former Independence attorney for allegedly stealing nearly $650,000 from three clients, including a memorial fund set up in 2007 for two murdered children.

Harley Kent Desselle, 61, of Raytown, was charged in the six-count indictment with wire fraud, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud and making a false oath in a bankruptcy case, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Kansas City announced.
