NASHUA – Six months after a former longtime Hollis resident and U.S. Army veteran died at age 86, a New York State couple known to the man has been indicted on charges accusing them of taking advantage of his “impaired abilities” to steal thousands of dollars from him, according to the state Attorney General’s office.

Kile A. Madsen, 52, and Debra Madsen, 50, currently of Potsdam, N.Y., allegedly agreed on a scheme to transfer a total of $31,000 from the man’s investment account over the course of nine months, between December 2015 and August 2016.

The transfer allegedly gave the couple access to the funds, which, according to the indictments, they spent “at various casinos” over that period of time.

Kile and Debra Madsen each face one count of theft by unauthorized taking and one count of conspiracy to commit theft by unauthorized taking. Both are Class A felonies.

The indictments were among those handed up late last week by the grand jury for the October term of Hillsborough County Superior Court South.

An indictment is not an indication, or proof of, guilt, but represents the Grand Jury’s determination that enough evidence exists for prosecutors to move the case forward in Superior Court.

The alleged thefts, according to the indictments, occurred in Hollis “and in other locations in southern Hillsborough County,” and were conducted “with the purpose to deprive” the elderly man of funds.

They also accuse the Madsens of “intending to take advantage of (the alleged victim’s) age, or physical or mental condition, that impaired his ability to manage his property or his financial resources … .”

Other indictments the October grand jury handed up include two that accuse a Pembroke man with sexually molesting a 12-year-old girl in Nashua some 20 years ago.

Robert E. Pratt, 58, faces two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault involving a victim under age 13. Pratt allegedly engaged in sexual acts with the girl between Christmas 1997 and Christmas Eve 1998. Both charges are Class A felonies.
