Shelton Woman Pleads Guilty to Fraud Offense Stemming $739K Embezzlement Scheme

David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that PAMELA AGUILAR, 65, of Shelton, pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley in Bridgeport to an offense stemming from her embezzlement of more than $739,000 from a Connecticut company.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Aguilar was employed as Chief Financial Officer of a Danbury-based software company, identified in court documents as "Company A." Between approximately 2018 and 2025, Aguilar defrauded Company A by making ACH and wire transfers from Company A's account to personal bank accounts, writing checks and making cash withdrawals from Company A's account, and by making PayPal and credit card payments from Company A's account for her own benefit.

Through this scheme, Aguila stole more than $739,466.44 from Company A. She attempted to cover up her criminal behavior by providing false weekly cash reports and false monthly financial statements to Company A's Chief Executive Officer.

Aguilar pleaded guilty to wire fraud, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.

Aguilar is released on a $50,000 bond pending sentencing, which is scheduled for August 27.

This investigation has been conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ray Miller.
