MILWAUKEE (AP) - Two former employees of a Roman Catholic high school in Waukesha have been charged with defrauding the school of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Journal Sentinel reports Kevin Heaney, 67, of Wild Rose, and his son, Bryan Heaney, 40, are accused of setting up companies to charge the Catholic Memorial School for work that the school had already employed them to do.
The newspaper said attorneys for the men did not return messages seeking comment.
According to a criminal complaint, the elder Heaney was employed at Catholic Memorial High School as director of the school’s IT department. The younger Heaney worked at the school as his father’s assistant.
A routine audit at the school in 2019 revealed invoices of three suspicious businesses.
Catholic Memorial President Donna Bembenek said the school notified police after an internal investigation.
