New court filings indicate Ruby Corado likely to plead guilty
Newly filed court documents show that Ruby Corado, the founder and executive director of the now-defunct LGBTQ community services organization Casa Ruby, is expected to plead guilty to a reduced single charge of wire fraud as part of a plea deal offered by federal prosecutors.
An entry filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on June 5 states that a “Plea Agreement Hearing” has been scheduled for July 17, 2024, at 10 a.m.
before Judge Trevor N. McFadden. The posting of the plea agreement hearing came five days after prosecutors with the Office of the U.S.
Attorney for D.C. filed an 11-page criminal information document charging Corado with a single count of wire fraud. The new document replaces an earlier criminal complaint that charged Corado with wire fraud and the additional charges of bank fraud, money laundering, monetary transactions in criminally derived proceeds, and failure to file a required report of a foreign bank account.
