Clarence McGann, a City Department of Correction Captain and his cohabitant Maria Torres, were found for defrauding the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) of approximately $60,000 in Section 8 rental subsidies.
McGann and Torres admitted to have misrepresented their personal cohabitant relationship as landlord and tenant sharing McGann’s house in New York. Between 2000 and 2008, McGann purposely failed to report his full income and his personal relationship with Torres to the NYCHA.
McGann now faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison for Grand Larceny in the 2nd degree. His co-defendant now faces a maximum penalty of 4 years in prison for 3 counts of Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the 1st Degree.
