The couple from Taunton, Massachusetts, allegedly conspired to use their anti-violence nonprofit to defraud the Boston Resiliency Fund, a charitable fund established by the City of Boston to provide aid to residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Violence in Boston was founded in 2017 with the goal of reducing violence, raising social awareness and aiding community causes in Boston. Cannon-Grant was the organization's CEO and founder. Her husband was a founding director and was also a full-time employee for a commuter services company until recently.
According to a pinned post on the nonprofit's Facebook page, Violence in Boston shut down and suspended all programs as of July 6, 2022. The Grants pleaded not guilty in March 2022 to the original indictment that included defrauding the nonprofit and its donors as well as committing unemployment fraud. Cannon-Grant’s attorney, Robert Goldstein, said last year that prosecutors had “rushed to judgment” in the case.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the charges of wire fraud conspiracy each provide for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
