Former Monroe County public administrator pleads guilty to exploiting elderly and disabled residents

by 


SCOTLAND COUNTY — The former Monroe County public administrator accused of stealing from elderly and disabled residents accepted a plea deal Wednesday.

Online court records say Jessica A. Chase pleaded guilty to one count each of filing false documents, stealing $750 or more and financial exploitation of an elder or disabled person.

In 2024, Chase was charged with six counts each of forgery and financial exploitation, 12 counts of stealing and seven counts of filing false documents for allegedly stealing from the accounts of many elderly and disabled Monroe County residents during her time as public administrator. Chase was the conservator for these residents.

Chase was sentenced to serve a total of 10 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections and to pay $12,000 in restitution to the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office. The case was moved from Monroe County on a change of venue to Scotland County.
