“She admitted to stealing the debit card information from a man she visited for a prostitution date in his Manhattan apartment. When the man died of an overdose, instead of notifying the authorities or calling for help, Clermont callously chose to use the man’s debit card information to make tens of thousands of dollars in illegal purchases,” Berman explained.
According to court documents, it was during the course of the investigation of the man found dead in his midtown east apartment, on the morning of Feb. 1, 2017, that law enforcement learned that Clermont visited the victim for a prostitution date the previous evening and stole the information of two debit cards in his wallet.
Officials said Clermont even created and used a fake email account in the victim’s name, pretending to be the victim to commit fraud.
Clermont stated in an interview with law enforcement after she was arrested that she committed the crime in part due to stress of keeping up her public image, according to officials.
