A Lexington stripper has been charged with tricking an Anderson County woman into giving her thousands of dollars that she wound up using for breast implants.
Glenda J. Moore, 33, was working at Camelot East strip club while she allegedly befriended a 69-year-old Lawrenceburg woman and convinced her to give her more than $60,000 over two years.
It’s not known how much the breast implants cost and how any remaining money was used.
The two met through the older woman’s son, said Detective Brian Taylor of the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.
Moore told the woman, whose name was not released, that she was in the nursing program at Morehead State University and needed money for tuition, books and labs, Taylor said.
The woman has never attended the university, and it doesn’t appear that she intended to do so, he said. She never took a tour of the school or enrolled in any classes.
Moore also told the woman that she had cancer and needed money for treatment, Taylor said, adding that was also not true.
Moore received $10,000 on two separate occasions from the woman in person.
On another occasion, Moore said she was too sick to leave home, and she sent someone else to pick up the cash.
Taylor said the older woman took a lot of the money out of IRAs and CDs, and will owe the Internal Revenue Service at least $13,000 in penalties.
The 69-year-old called police when she became suspicious. Taylor declined to release details about why the woman became suspicious.
Moore is charged with four counts of theft by unlawful taking, a Class D felony. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison for each count. She is being held at the Franklin County jail on a $25,000 cash bond.
Look at her picture on WKYT’s website, wkyt.com, it’s great!
its great alright , looks like she gas a 5 o~clock shadow , what kind of strip club is that anyway ?
I think if you will look a little farther into this story, you will find that Glenda Moore was dating the “victim’s” son. By the way, the way they have neglected to say the woman who filed charges was Lillie Mae Bottom. As soon as Glenda dumped Ms. Bottom’s son the lady went to the cops and alleged that she had been scamed. Many people who are close to the son and to Glenda know that he was as much to blame for getting money from his mother as she was. I wonder if charges are going to be pressed on him as well. They should be. The mom knows it too, she just doesn’t want to see her baby boy go to jail. Convenient, huh?
i totally believe the son was also involved. There is no way that she could have gotten that close to the mother without the son knowing that SOMETHING was going on. he had to know she wasnt sick and he had to know she some how got enough money for breat implants. i have known Glenda since highschool and know shes a nice person…i also know she loves expensive things so im not the least bit shocked that shes accused this crime… but she didnt do it alone. I know i wouldnt let ANYONE take ANY amount of money from my mom, so he had to be involved and he had to also be getting something out of it!!!
