ATTORNEY MARY ROBERTS’ CONVICTION UPHELD

San Antonio, Texas: March 17, 2010

The Fourth Court of Appeals today affirmed the conviction of former attorney, Mary Roberts. Roberts, age 53, was convicted on five separate counts of felony theft based on a scheme concocted with her then husband, Ted, to extort money from four men with whom Mary Roberts had sexual liaisons.

The case was tried in the 226th District Court before the Honorable Sid Harle in December of 2007.

Ted Roberts was previously convicted for his role in the scheme and sentenced to five years in prison. He is currently serving his sentence.

Both Ted and Mary Roberts are no longer allowed to practice law as a result of the convictions.
