OKC Attorney Accused Of Cheating Adoptive Parents Out Of Money

An Oklahoma City adoption attorney is accused of cheating adoptive parents out of thousands of dollars.

Robert Golden Boren was charged Thursday with 25 felony counts, including trafficking in children, engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses and obtaining money under false pretenses.

Prosecutors accuse Boren of creating a fake company to charge adoptive parents more than actual living expenses of birth mothers, and of overcharging for so-called social services. A detective wrote in a court affidavit that Boren had more than $110,000 in illegal profits on cases she examined between 2009 and 2013.

According to the detective, Boren used the fake company's account to write checks to his wife and son, as well as for personal expenses.
The Oklahoman reports Boren did not return calls seeking comment.
