Financial Elder Abuse Arrest
D'Sant Angelo in Custody for New Case
In Custody: Denise d’Sant Angelo, already facing trial on charges of allegedly embezzling donations intended for three nuns, was arrested Wednesday night, December 30, on suspicion of financial elder abuse.
D’Sant Angelo, who remained in custody Thursday in lieu of $70,000 bail, will be arraigned Monday on felony charges that she stole money from two unidentified Santa Barbara seniors. Deputy District Attorney Brian Cota confirmed reports of the arrest. The nuns are not the victims in this new case.
Details of the abuse case and the victim’s name were not available Thursday. Sources also said that d’Sant Angelo is also wanted on a Ventura County bench warrant for failing to appear at a civil hearing.
