Georgia State Rep. Sharon Henderson has been federally indicted on charges of theft of government funds and wire fraud after allegedly collecting over $17,000 in COVID unemployment benefits while still serving in the legislature.
According to the indictment, Henderson hadn’t worked as a substitute teacher since 2018 and was ineligible for the benefits she claimed during 2020–2021.
Federal prosecutors say additional indictments of Georgia public officials for similar pandemic fraud are expected as investigations continue.
Glad to hear she was caught and will face justice.

There are bad people on both sides and we have to be honest in judging and prosecuting them regardless of their part affiliations. Thanks to PP who is Dem and acknowledging this issue.

Boston Anti-Violence Nonprofit Founder Sentenced to Probation in Federal Fraud Case
Monica Cannon-Grant, founder of the anti-violence nonprofit Violence in Boston, was sentenced to four years of probation in federal court after pleading guilty to 18 charges including wire fraud, mail fraud, and failing to file tax returns.
Prosecutors said Cannon-Grant and her late husband diverted donations and pandemic-era funds, including COVID relief and rental assistance, for personal expenses and fraudulently obtained unemployment-related benefits; the case also involved alleged misuse of nonprofit funds for auto-related bills.
The court ordered Cannon-Grant to pay $106,003 in restitution; federal prosecutors had recommended an 18-month prison sentence.
Cannon-Grant previously received high-profile community recognition, including Boston Globe Magazine’s “Bostonian of the Year” and a Boston Celtics “Heroes Among Us” award in 2020; the nonprofit announced it was shutting down after her 2022 indictment.
