Avenatti charged with defrauding Stormy Daniels
Prosecutors on Wednesday indicted disgraced celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti on fraud and aggravated identify theft charges related to his former client, Stormy Daniels.
Avenatti forged Daniels’ signature and used fraudulent documents to convince a literary agent to divert nearly $300,000 in payments from Daniels’ book advance, according to federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.
They claimed that Avenatti used the money “principally for his own personal and business purposes.”
The indictment does not identify Daniels as the victim, but ABC News reported earlier on Wednesday that the charges were related to Avenatti’s work with the porn star.
According to prosecutors, Avenatti received two separate payments of $148,750 in the alleged scheme. He also “lied” to Daniels when she inquired about her book payments by claiming that the publisher had yet to pay her literary agent.
After obtaining the first payment, Avenatti allegedly used funds from another source to pay Daniels so that she would not realize she had been scammed.
