FORMER STATE EMPLOYEE CHARGED WITH INSURANCE FRAUD

Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, Jr., announced today the filing of criminal insurance fraud charges against Johnathan Mosley, 37, of Baltimore. In a four count criminal indictment filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Mosley was charged with submitting false and misleading statements and documentation to Farmers’ Insurance Exchange in support of a personal injury insurance claim while he was employed with the Department of Juvenile Justice as an Addiction Counselor.

The charges allege that between the dates of November 27, 2000 and February 23, 2001, Johnathan Mosley submitted various fraudulent documents in support of an insurance claim for lost wages incurred after he was involved in an automobile accident in May of 2000. The false submissions included a fraudulent letter and other documents, purportedly from the Department of Juvenile Justice, misclassifying his position and misrepresenting his salary. Mosley also submitted fraudulent W-2 tax forms to support a lost wage claim concerning a private business that he owned.

If convicted of felony insurance fraud, Miller could be sentenced to serve 15 years in prison and fined $10,000. The indictment follows a joint investigation conducted by the Insurance Fraud Division of the Maryland Insurance Administration and the Office of the Attorney General. A criminal indictment is merely an accusation of wrongdoing, and every individual is presumed innocent until the charges are proven by the State. No trial date has been set.
