Promise of romance led to fleecing of man, 82, authorities say

He was promised romance and sex in the Florida Keys, but instead, investigators say the 82-year-old man was ripped off by his companion, a 46-year-old Wilton Manors woman.

By the time the relationship soured, the man had given Michelle Nicholas a Lexus, bought her a luxury watch and financed a charge account for her, according to a Sheriff's Office complaint affidavit.

Nicholas is now facing charges of grand theft and elderly exploitation, records show.

According to the affidavit, Nicholas, a 5-foot, 250-pound blonde, gained the man's trust under "the false pretense of a relationship." However, because of his age and mental limitations, he is "unable to use proper judgment in making financial decisions," the affidavit says.

In late March, the man rented a car and paid all the expenses as he and Nicholas traveled to the Florida Keys for a sexual encounter, according to the report.
