Former Head Of Children’s Daycare Indicted For Stealing Nearly $127,000
The OIG, the Attorney General’s Office and the Mass State Police conducted a joint investigation that resulted in the indictments.
Boston, MA — The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (AGO) today announced that a Suffolk County Grand Jury has returned six indictments against Maritza Juliao, 52, of Brockton, for stealing nearly $127,000 from the Crispus Attucks Children’s Center (CACC) in Dorchester and lying under oath to conceal her self-dealing. The grand jury indicted Juliao on charges of Larceny over $1,200 by Single Scheme (3 counts) and Perjury (3 counts).
The Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General (OIG) began investigating Juliao in 2021 in response to a complaint from a former accountant at CACC. A joint investigation between the AGO and the OIG, with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police (MSP), revealed that Juliao employed multiple schemes to unjustly enrich herself and her family members at the expense of CACC and its clients.
