LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A Taylorsville, Ky. woman is accused of stealing $170,000 from her own mother's bank account.

Pamela Johnsen is charged with exploiting an adult and theft of $10,000 or more.  She had Power of Attorney over her mother because of health issues.

The Bullitt County Sheriff's Office says Johnsen took the money back in August and wired it to various other accounts in several countries.  She believed the money was going to a man she had an online relationship with.
