YORK, Neb.-

A 27-year-old Bertrand man could spend up to three years in prison for fooling a York man into thinking he was a woman, then persuading the man to send him thousands of dollars.

Richard Vasquez had an online and telephone romantic relationship with the man, and eventually began asking him for money to help family members, according to court documents. Vasquez even met the man, posing as Alexis’ brother, Alex, to collect money. In all, the York man gave Vasquez nearly $20,000.

York County District Judge Alan Gless sentenced Vasquez to 20 months to three years in prison for fraud.
