In 2008 Leclercq was sentenced to eight years prison for wire fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. She was released in 2014 and completed probation in 2017 but still owes the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida more than $4 million in restitution, her arrest report indicates.
Leclercq and her daughter, Lisa Searson, 49, of Geneva, have been named in a charging affidavit presented to prosecutors by a State Attorney’s Office investigator who wrote that the women set up five fake businesses offering cosmetic surgery and charged Synchrony Bank for medical services that were never rendered.
Searson is also no stranger to the law. She was sentenced to five years prison in 2008 for organized scheme to defraud of more than $20,000, grand theft, and committing fraud by using another person’s identification, according to Florida Department of Corrections records.
