Georgia Man Pleads Not Guilty to Financially Exploiting a Woman With Dementia Who May or May Not Be His Wife

A Prattville man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to financially exploiting a woman who may or may not be his wife.

Glen Ray Glassmeyer, 75, was indicted in July on a charge of financial exploitation of the elderly, courthouse records show. He entered the plea before Judge Sibley Reynolds in Autauga County Circuit Court. Reynolds set a trial date for the week of Sept. 29.

Glassmeyer allegedly gained access to an elderly woman's finances and misused "several hundred thousand dollars," Assistant District Attorney Jessica Sanders said. He also allegedly bought a house for $150,000 in Elmore County that he put in his name, using the woman's money, she said.

Glassmeyer's attorney, Virginia Lucci, declined to comment about the case. He is free on a bond of $10,000, records at the Autauga Metro Jail show.

The victim in the case suffers from dementia, and Glassmeyer married her three days before he was arrested, Sanders told Reynolds.

"Judge, there is some question about Mr. Glassmeyer's relationship with the victim," she said. "He has told investigators he is her caregiver, but he also said they were together in a dating relationship. There is a petition filed seeking an annulment of the marriage."

The legality of the marriage is in question due to the victim's level of competency at the time of the marriage, prosecutors allege.
