NEW YORK - New York Attorney General Letitia James today secured the guilty plea of Rachel Paillet, a nursing home aide formerly employed at The Pearl Nursing Center of Rochester (The Pearl), for stealing a resident's debit card and withdrawing over $60,000. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General's (OAG) Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) found that from April 2023 to November 2023, Paillet made 220 withdrawals using the resident's card. Paillet spent the money on groceries, bills, and lottery tickets in an attempt to win back the money she had stolen. Paillet pleaded guilty today to Grand Larceny in the Third Degree in Monroe County Court.
