A Houston doctor who was wrongfully accused and imprisoned for 30 months is now suing the U.S. government for damages.
You may remember a massive Department of Justice bust where 23 people were arrested for fraud, including scamming hundreds of people in a romance scam.Well, a Houston doctor was one of the people charged and the only one acquitted. SUGGESTED: Lamar High School student will be tried as adult, faced with felony gun chargeBefore Dr. Segun Adeoye was acquitted by a jury in March 2024. He was held in jail for 30 months, deemed a flight risk. So he was not granted a bond.
Hundreds of Americans were scammed out of $17 million in a romance scam and other fraud, and every person charged was convicted except Adeoye, who was acquitted."It's been tough, very tough. When I was locked in jail, I had my Christmas meal in a cell that was flooded with excrement. Now that I'm out, some friends won't deal with me, because there's still a cloud of doubt. My God, it's an experience you don't wish your enemy to go through.
