A woman was arrested on 55 counts of fraud, forgery and exploitation of the elderly Wednesday after she was accused of stealing more than $30,000 from an elderly person in her care.

She was charged with one count of exploitation of the elderly, 24 counts of fraud cash deposits, 24 counts of forgery, one count of fraud to obtain property, one count of criminal use of personal identification, one count of theft from a person over 65 and three counts of fraudulent use of credit cards.

55 counts? Now we're talking. There needs to be vigorous prosecution of elder abusers and still penalties to deter this crime.
