Carlin Stiehl for CA Post Los Angeles' top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said the allegations amounted to a serious betrayal of trust. This defendant was entrusted by the community with safeguarding money raised for young adults. She violated that trust and is now a charged felon, Essayli told The California Post. Our prosecutors are committed to holding her fully accountable, including seeking a federal prison sentence. If convicted, Molina faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in federal prison for each count. Prosecutors are also seeking forfeiture, including the $1.4 million Aliso Viejo property. If it cannot be forfeited, the government seeks a money judgment equal to its value. And because Molina is a Certified Public Accountant, law enforcement is now asking businesses, charities and youth groups that hired her to review their financial histories over concerns she may have had access to other organizations' money.
