Defendant Charged With ‘Stealing the Food Out of Mouths of Children’
Brooklyn Prosecutors Indict Man in Food-Stamp Swindle
JAY STREET — Today, Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced the indictment of Kenley Stanislas, 46, who is charged with fraudulently gaining $6,000 in food-stamp assistance from the accounts of at least 26 food-stamp recipients by illegally obtaining their personal identification.
“This case demonstrates why you should never give out any personal identifying information to strangers on the phone: the caller is likely to be a thief who wants to use that information for his or her own benefit,” said District Attorney Hynes.
