The former director of the SFPD-funded nonprofit SF SAFE was arrested on 34 felony counts, accused of misusing over $700,000 in taxpayer money on extravagant expenses like luxury gifts, limo rides, and forged checks.
SF SAFE's scandal included missing millions, $625,000 owed to the Latino Task Force, and accusations of check forgery. The mismanagement led to the charity's dissolution in 2024.
Kyra Worthy, the former executive director, was charged with 34 felony counts, including misappropriation of public funds, submitting fraudulent invoices, theft, wage theft, and check fraud.
Worthy allegedly embezzled over $100,000 from SF SAFE, contributing to the organization's financial downfall. Her actions left the 48-year-old charity with no assets and forced it to close in January 2024.
