Caregivers Charged with Theft

Two Greeley-area multiple sclerosis patients have accused their caregivers of stealing thousands of dollars from them and — in one case — force-feeding her raw food and threatening to withhold care unless she agreed to write checks for cash.

Rhonda Cheri Aab, 38, has been charged with 57 counts of forgery and one count of theft from an at-risk adult, both felonies, after allegations that she stole checks from the Kersey woman she had been caring for in the past two years.

Kathy Jo Villanueva, 37, and Angel Rojas, 18, have been charged with extortion, theft from an at-risk adult and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a case involving forcing a woman to sign checks to them by threatening to stop caring for her.

Both cases allegedly involved the caregivers writing checks for their patients, who could no longer write checks themselves.
