The boyfriend of a paraplegic woman in
West Milwaukee has been charged with two felonies after allegedly
causing her to get evicted from her home after stealing her money and
neglecting her so much she was hospitalized for weeks to treat bed
sores.
Daniel C. Stanford, 24, of
West Milwaukee has been charged with forgery and recklessly subjecting
an at-risk individual to abuse.
He faces up to 18
and a half years in prison if convicted, according to online court
documents. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
According to the criminal complaint:
The
victim, a woman who became a paraplegic after a car accident in 2010,
said Stanford was her live-in boyfriend and doubled as her professional
financial assistant for her healthcare.
She told
investigators that over a six-month period, Stanford neglected many of
his duties as the woman’s primary caretaker. He failed to regularly
rotate her to avoid bed sores, change the dressing on her wounds
frequently enough, conduct motion exercises for her legs and provide her
with proper nutrition and cleanliness.
