An Appleton man hired by Outagamie County to protect the legal interests of elderly and disabled residents is charged with stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from their accounts.
Affected families say the alleged crimes are devastating.
Jeffrey Schend, 44, faces six felony counts of theft in Outagamie County.
He's worked as a contracted legal guardian for the county since 2004, and late last year his business, JMS Guardianship Services, began receiving calls that clients' bills weren't being paid.
According to the criminal complaint, prosecutors examined accounts of four people under Schend's care, and they discovered about $400,000 transferred to Schend's company could not be found in the company's books.
The family of one of the alleged victims in this case says they are appalled by the allegations.
