A Layton man previously convicted of fraud allegedly fell into old habits last spring, conning an 87-year-old LDS missionary out of $111,000 after they met in a 12-step program.
Over the course of five months, Keith Evan McKnight got the victim to write 190 checks, court documents state.
McKnight, 54, was charged Thursday in 2nd District Court with second-degree-felony communications fraud.
McKnight met the victim at a 12-step program for which the victim was assisting in counseling sessions as part of a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to a probable cause statement.
