Cecily Sturge, the former wife of ex-Hunton & Williams partner Scott Wolas, has been arrested on charges of lying to federal agents about his whereabouts. Wolas was apprehended in April and charged with perpetrating a $1.5 million real estate fraud after being a fugitive for 20 years.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Boston announced Wednesday that Sturge, a 69-year-old resident of Delray Beach, Florida, had been taken into custody for allegedly making a false statement to a law enforcement official when questioned about the location of her former spouse. The government’s information states that Sturge divorced Wolas in 2001 via a default judgment entered that year in a court in Palm Beach County, Florida.
