Florida Rep. Carolina Amesty Indicted on Felony Forgery Charges

The charges relate to Amesty's time as an administrator at a family-run Christian school and could lead to significant prison time.

Amesty faces four third-degree felony charges, each carrying up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines.
The charges stem from a 2021 incident involving a forged signature on a notarized document.
Amesty turned herself in and was released from Orange County Jail after booking.
Her reelection campaign claims the prosecution is based on misleading reports from a partisan newspaper.
The Florida Democratic Party has called for Amesty's immediate resignation.
