Employee Admits To Spending Stolen $100,000 On OnlyFans

On June 24, 2024. Officers from the Ladysmith Police Department called a man (Lucus) and asked if he would come to the police department to answer a few questions. Lucus’s was being investigated after a previous employer of his contacted police after they suspected Lucus of stealing over $100,000 over the course of 5 months. Lucus agreed and met with officers in an interrogation room.

The employer explained that they suspected Lucus of stealing as he had access to an ATM and a safe. They also mentioned that money stopped going missing immediately after they fired Lucus after they caught him adding hours to his timesheet.

While in the interrogation room, Lucas was questioned about his previous job. He explained what he did while working there and denied knowing anything about the stolen money. Lucus said that he was the person in charge of refilling the ATM machine and had access to the business's safe. Lucus agreed to fill out a statement form and officers left the room while he completed it.

Officers asked Lucus what should happen to the person who stole the money and he responded “For $100,000 at least jail.” Lucus was asked if he's ever been scammed or needed to pay for anything expensive. He mentioned that he had a $4,000 load that he had to pay off after he was fired but had money saved up from working that he was able to pay it off with. Lucus also said that he and his brother started a business selling trading cards in February and that they spend about $800 on trading cards a week. When asked how much he makes selling the cards, Lucus said that have made $15,000 since February. An officer asked if Lucus would be willing to show his finances and bank statements. Lucus said he would rather not for “personal reasons.” An officer told Lucus that they could probably get a warrant to see his bank statements. Lucus was told that if he knows what happened to the money he should tell them now before they seek further action. After a short pause, Lucus said “ I did it.” When asked what he meant by that, he said “I took it.”

Lucus was then questioned on why he took the money and said “same reason why I was stealing time.” He explained that he was promised a raise multiple times but never received one. Lucus said he was unaware of how much money he stole and said he would not have taken that much if he knew. When asked where the money went that he stole, Lucus said he spent it on books, games, and OnlyFans. Lucus apologized for lying and said that he only has about $1000 of the money left.

Lucus admitted that the majority of the previous statement he wrote down was false and agreed to write a truthful statement. After completing the statement form and writing an apology letter, Lucus was handcuffed and taken into custody. Lucus was found guilty for Theft in a Business Setting between $10,000-$100,000. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison with work release privileges, 5 years of probation, and he was required to pay $75,980 in restitution.
