District Attorney Stephan Baratta announced Tuesday that a Northampton County woman was sentenced for financially exploiting her elderly mother.
Alyssa Piazza was sentenced on December 12, 2024, to 58 to 116 months in state prison.
According to the DA, she was sentenced for financial exploitation of an older adult and related charges for the theft of her 86-year-old mother's entire estate.
She achieved the theft by the criminal misuse of a Power of Attorney.
The DA states that Piazza's actions left her mother virtually homeless, as she diverted her mother's estate, including selling her mother's home that she lived in for 27 years.
She was found guilty by a jury of
three counts of theft by unlawful taking, two counts of theft by failure
to make required disposition of funds received, financial exploitation
of an older adult, and abuse of care-dependent person.
