DOUGLAS R. BONCOSKY SENTENCED TO 5 YEARS IN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR THE FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF AN ELDERLY PERSON
On October 22, 2024, Douglas R. Boncosky, a 55-year-old male from Barrington, was sentenced to 5 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections by the Honorable Judge Tiffany Davis following a negotiated plea to the charge of Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Person.
As part of the agreement, Boncosky was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,983,378.60 to the victim in this case.
An investigation revealed that Boncosky became a power of attorney for an elderly individual who had been admitted into a memory care unit for dementia.
From 2018 to August 22, 2023, he had been transferring funds out of her account and into his without consent or knowledge.
The evening of October 30, 2023, Boncosky arrived at the Cary Police Station and upon questioning admitted to his crimes.
McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick D. Kenneally thanks the Cary Police Department for their work in this case.
This case was successfully prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney Justin Neubauer.
Our office remains committed to ensuring the elderly are well protected from predators.
