Lawyer who founded veterans charity in Connecticut sentenced to prison for scamming donors

With angry victims demanding a stiff penalty for disgraced Bristol attorney Kevin Creed, a federal judge on Monday sentenced him to three and a half years in prison for swindling $1.4 million from a Connecticut veterans charity.

Creed, a former state trooper and decorated military veteran, showed no reaction when Judge Janet Hall announced what she said was the second-toughest term she ever imposed in a fraud case.

“You stole from veterans and and people who gave in memory of veterans, you stole from school children,” Hall told Creed at a hearing on Zoom.
