According to indictments, defendants submitted false attendance records—one defendant claimed to provide care for 23-25 children when surveillance showed children present only once during the period. Individual defendants received between $538,000 and $1.2 million; one defendant received $300,000 in 2025 from San Diego County, the YMCA, and Child Development Associates. Investigators found some defendants were outside the United States when they claimed to be providing childcare.
“Anyone who steals from programs meant to support children will face swift and uncompromising accountability. Fraud against these programs is an attack on vulnerable families.”
