Overview

• Court filings and prior grand jury testimony indicate Nakia Thompson and her three children have lived at the Norfolk property since 2020 without paying rent.
• North Carolina’s Department of Adult Correction says Thompson is listed as an absconder for willfully avoiding probation supervision after misdemeanor convictions.
• State officials note the case was designated non-extraditable, so she cannot be compelled back from Virginia but could be arrested if found in North Carolina.
• Letitia James was indicted in Virginia on bank fraud and false statement charges alleging she misrepresented the home’s intended use to secure better loan terms on the 2020 purchase.
• James is scheduled to make her first federal court appearance on Oct. 24, and her attorney Abbe Lowell denies wrongdoing and calls the case politically motivated.
