A Fredericton woman took advantage of two vulnerable women, draining their bank accounts and securing nine loans against a victim’s house to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, court heard Monday.

Florence George Yousef, 57, of Willington Court in Fredericton, appeared at the Burton Courthouse on Monday before Court of King’s Bench Justice Richard Petrie.

She previously admitted two counts of fraud, stemming from events in which Sheila Amos Betty Fairley were taken for tens of thousands of dollars.

Monday’s court date was supposed to be a hearing to hear testimony to iron out the exact facts of the case, as the defendant was disputing some of what the prosecution was alleging.
