A Bridgewater couple pleaded not guilty to allegedly pocketing $18,000 from a GoFundMe campaign to support a homeless man, Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz announced Friday.
Brian Ferreira, 33, and Rachel Kadis, 31, created a GoFundMe in March to support a homeless man, and allegedly did not give the man, who died in July, the approximately $18,000 raised, the DA said in a release.
Ferreira and Kadis pleaded not guilty to counts of embezzlement, conspiracy, and larceny over $1200 by false pretenses, the DA said.
The couple was released on personal recognizance, with conditions they surrender their passports, refrain from fundraising, and refrain from visiting GoFundMe or any fundraising site, according to the DA.
The man, named Greg Bobst, reported to the Bridgewater Poli
