Michele Moeser Roberts, 61, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, has been charged with embezzling nearly $300,000 from King's Grant Baptist Church, where she had been employed as financial administrator. According to prosecutors, Roberts misappropriated $287,678 from church coffers over a six year period beginning in October 2004. The scheme was not uncovered until the church's new financial administrator took over the job recently, following Roberts' apparent "retirement."Watch the video here.
