A Selma woman was found guilty on 22 counts by a federal jury in Columbus, Georgia Thursday.

The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported Selma’s Dorita Clay was found guilty on 21 counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was found not guilty on one wire fraud count.

According to Columbus law enforcement, Clay took over $600,000 from Darlene Corbett between April 2015 and September 2016. The two women became friends in 2014 as Corbett was the chief financial officer for the Grand Reserve from 2009 until getting fired in 2016.

Corbett’s step-son, Steve Corbett, owns two apartment complexes, The Grand Reserve at Columbus (GRC) and The Grand Reserve at Madison (GRM). According to last year’s indictment, Clay and Darlene Corbett conspired in a scheme to fraud Steve Corbett.

Darlene Corbett was indicted on the same charges as Clay, but her wire fraud counts were dropped after she pleaded guilty to conspiracy and testified against Clay.

A representative from the Pearl River Resort in Philadelphia, Mississippi testified at the trial and said Clay wagered $1.8 million and lost $1.7 million in 2015. The representative also said Clay bet $600,000 in 2016 and lost around $500,000.

“The defendant really is a gambling addict,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Crawford Seals told jurors in his closing argument. “She is not just a gambler, she’s a flim-flam artist. The defendant is a terrible gambler.”

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land set her sentencing for April 9 at 9:30 a.m. The maximum penalty for each of her counts is 20 years in prison plus a $250,000 fine.

In Aug. 2017, Clay filed a lawsuit in Dallas County Circuit Court against Wells Fargo, alleging a branch manager in Selma wrongfully provided her account information to an FBI agent, who was investigating the case. Corbett allegedly wrote checks to Clay as “D.L. Clay,” “Dorita Clay” and “L. Clay.”

Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson said Clay was often sent to jail several times in the area.

“The decision that the jurors made on this new case is something I can respect,” Jackson said.
