Katherine Jackson, an Indiana woman with a history of fraud allegations, is now facing a new, separate charge of fraud in Fort Wayne. This latest accusation involves allegedly defrauding an employee of her former attorney.
According to charging documents, Jackson is accused of taking $8,000 from an individual who was an employee of her attorney. The funds were reportedly for the purchase of a car, which was never delivered to the buyer.

Details regarding the timeline of the new fraud charge or the specific circumstances of the car transaction were not immediately available.
The previous allegations involved significant public attention due to the nature of the fabricated illness and the involvement of a well-known charitable organization. The outcome of those prior accusations was not detailed in the provided information.
The current legal proceedings in Fort Wayne will address the new fraud charge. Information regarding the attorney for Katherine Jackson in this new case was not provided.
