A former Northern California school district employee is accused of allegedly defrauding his employer out of new tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices and then selling them for his own profit, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday.
Eric Rego, a former after-school services coordinator for the Mt. Diablo Unified School District in Contra Costa County, was charged by a federal grand jury with three counts of mail fraud in connection with an alleged multi-million-dollar fraud scheme. Rego, a resident of El Dorado Hills, was arrested Tuesday and was scheduled to appear in federal district court in Sacramento on Wednesday, said U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California Ismail Ramsey in a press statement.
