Judge Denies Motion To Dismiss Welfare Scandal Charges Against Ted DiBiase Jr.
An update on Ted DiBiase Jr’s ongoing legal case.
On Tuesday, March 17, a judge in Mississippi denied a motion that would’ve dismissed DiBiase Jr’s charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and theft concerning programs with federal funds, wire fraud, money laundering, and theft concerning programs receiving federal funds. This decision came after the prosecution rested its case.
The following day, the defense rested their case as well. If convicted of the charges, Ted DiBiase could face up to a maximum of 185 years in prison, according to WJTV.
Along with multiple co-conspirators, DiBiase Jr. is being accused of illegally obtaining federal funds from government programs like the Emergency Food Assistance Program and Temporary Assistance For Needly Families. The former WWE star allegedly used these funds to buy a house, a boat, and a vehicle.
