A Former Kentucky Legislator Pleads Guilty to Fraud

A former Kentucky lawmaker and pharmacy owner has admitted in federal court to billing insurance programs for prescriptions that customers didn’t pick up, according to a published report.

Robert Goforth, 46, pleaded guilty Wednesday to health care fraud and a charge related to money laundering, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
